If you want help Evan think of this: when it was first marketed in the
UK the price was around GBP1750. It is now, around 6 months later (?)
available for GBP600 less. You can probably transpose pounds for
dollars in this assessment. It has a relatively low pixel count which
is bound to be obsolete (if you like to have the latest, most capable
of a marque) within a few months. I should expect there to be an E-2
or -3 by January next year ...
I should continue to see the world in film sizes. You will probably
feel the same about your film cameras some years hence, whereas the
computers-with-lenses will look a little jaded I suspect.
