Amen Cy. This week's AP has a review of the EOS jobber thingy. Apart from your points there is the "shock-horror" that its predecessor was replaced after only a year...

For 25 years I had a relatively small OM system (three primes plus one
zoom). I fell in love with the diminutive proportions of the OM system in the 1970's, and I am still enamoured of it. Over the past year I have been
expanding my OM system somewhat.

However, after the favourable review of the Canon EOS 10D on the DPReview website, I seriously considered whether I should venture into digital. But then I sat down and thought about it. The EOS 10D is just about 35mm half frame -- the lens multiplication factor is 1.6. If I got the EOS 16-35mm
f2.8 zoom (a seriously cool lens!), on the EOS 10D that would become a
26-56mm lens -- not very wide at all.

If I were going out for a day's hike in Yosemite, or traipse around London, which system would I take? Well, it wouldn't be the Canon, because I might want to take some super-wide snaps; I would take the OM system (I have the
18mm Zuiko).

Also, call me old fashioned, but with digital you don't actually seem to end up with anything to show for your labours, at least, nothing as tangible as
a neg or a tranny.

So, no digital for me just yet (even though the EOS 10D is mouth watering).
