There are lots of buttons on the camera, you don't need to turn on the
color LCD. A,S,P,M mode are one dial selected and also the
shutter/aperture are handled by front/rear dial. +/- compensation do
need two buttons but you can use manual mode, the +/- exposure error
will be display inside the finder in 1/3 stop.

The Zoom is true mechanical too. The manual focus is responded very
well except a bit hard to judge on screen at wide angle due to too
short focal length (9mm only).

Of course you should buy the E-20 now as the 5MP sensor seems make a
big different, I have visited Belgium digital site yesterday, the E-20
pictures are very impressive!

Some people will ask about the DOF, yes, it is still a problem. If you
can wait, next year's Olympus SLR system should be much better.
