bias?

Phil Askey, the dpreview owner, apparently uses a Fuji S2 and has always wished 
for an S2 sensor in a good Nikon body...wouldn't we all

    Seems to me that Olympus haven't sorted the issue of noise out on 
their sensor at higher ISOs. The noise on the DPreview images at higher 
ISO looked horrendous (to me anyway!). I still think the chips need 
cooling (please don't flame me for saying this :) !).
    I can also see the potential problems with the mirror layout and 
misalignment, however I think it will be a lot sturdier than it seems. 
I've have several porro-prism binoculars, which I would say were much 
sturdier than most digital cameras I've seen and handled, where the 
prisms have become misaligned with a slight impact. I bet Olympus have 
built in some simple collimation techniques so the mirrors can be 
collimated easily. Then again... I do like the look of the camera though.

Best wishes,
Gareth.

P.S. Does anyone seem to find DPreview reviews slightly biased towards 
Canon and Nikon gear?
