And the S2 costs $3099, so for $400 more what would you get? No brainer
here. Of course (at least in Ottawa) the E10/20 has NEVER sold well. The
Olympus rep has not been here in over 3 yrs. and on and on.

Cool for those in the U.S., but not in Canada. Still costs $2600 Canadian
here

OTOH, the $2000 E20 that I "stole" from Staples.com for $1300 less than a
year ago before they got wise* is now selling for under $1000. For $2000, it
was a fine camera. For $1000, it's an OUTSTANDING camera!
*Staples was offering "lowest price, or 1100f the difference back." You
called one of the slime-ball New York dealers and got a ridiculous
camera-only price, which of course they wouldn't honor without including
hundreds of dollars of useless, grossly over-priced accessories. You then
paid list price at Staples, and submitted the slime-ball quote, and they
refunded you 1100f the difference! They are now excluding certain
categories of merchandise from their 1100rice match, including digital
cameras.
