I do agree with you, at least regarding the cameras. But I have to admit I'm
genuniely impressed by their lenses and quality of their electronic
wizardry. A 300/4.0 lens with stabilizer (yes, you can handhold it at 1/60
second and get immaculate results) not to mention their 45 and 90 mm shift
and tilt lenses. Why haven't Olympus included tilt features on some lenses?
I certainly would have rushed to the store.
