I don't have a high hope on these areas, the noise of E-1 will be higher
than the others due to sensor size and tradition Olympus style (always has
higher noise than the other :-)). The "moire"... no, it should be resolution
problem, 5MP is 5MP, it is not as good as the 6MP one. On the other hand it
is just test chart results, I hope it can do better in the field.

After playing with a few other brands digital cameras I started to accept
the noise issue, it won't create too much problem in real life unless you
always shoot at night handheld, the E-1 seems already as good as film. In
dpreview the ISO800 samples looks very good to me. The major problem I found
with digital camera is color and contrast control, Olympus always did the
best in my experience. But I do feel the price of E-1 is high, it will be
more reasonable if the price is below $1400 with the standard Zoom.
