Interesting site but seems to appeal to people who like to make
themselves a bit miserable. Maybe people who try to read the future
are like that (present company excluded, of course). It seems to have
been a lousy job in classic Greek tragedy.
If I had an EP-1 I'd be tempted just to get an adapter and use the kit
lenses for the E-410. But having an E-410 now I'm just not very
interested in the EP-1. Actually, completely not interested.
I'd like to see Olympus go back and try again with a CCD sensor and
try to improve the speed of live view. More primes, fast as possible,
but cheap (plastic mounts OK -- I'm a believer now) would be better to
me than a new E-something. And I don't care how good ESP gets, I want
multi-spot metering, dangit.
