Well, DUH!

I don't think there are too many of us on this list that have
just ONE lens for our OMs.  We'll be foregoing food and shelter
to buy the next E-series lens.

I'm still pretty torn on this one.  I like the concept of the
E-1, but the viewfinder image is too small and the focus screen
isn't really meant to focus on.  An OM it ain't.  Olympus hasn't
made a decent viewfinder in any new camera design for a dozen
years.

I want a "no-excuses" "no-compromise" camera.  Why should I go
backwards?  The problem here is that our OMs date back to the
heyday of SLR design.  Other than the F5 and EOS-1N, SLR design
has gone backwards.  Now, with digital, it has gone REALLY
backwards.

Sure, it's got fancy-dancy digital features, and improved
sensors, storage-media and battery life.  But when it comes down
to the nuts and bolts of it, ANY camera does 900f photography
well.  It's the remaining 10% that requires a tool that doesn't
fight you.  The OM, it ain't.
