Hi Ken,
No Canons or Nikons here yet, though I can see the attraction of usable high
ISOs, and other new features.
Still using E-thingies with a couple of ZD lenses, along with a stash of
Leica-R and Pentax glass. I never owned an OM or OM glass. I'm a
late-arrival to the Olympus party, but, for my use, the E-1 and other E
bodies are a joy to use.
