Haven't shot with any DSLR yet so no. But looking at how often I'm
shooting with my lenses wide open (for shallow DoF) I'd say that the
greater DoF from the smaller sensor is an issue for me.

When I do go digital I certainly plan to test out whatever Olympus'
current E-offerings are before I make a final decision to go to the
C*n*n dark-side.

Granted, I do have an old C*n*n Elan IIe body from before I saw the
light and went OM so C*n*n has the lure of offering full lens
interoperability between DSLR and film. Yes, I can still keep my OM's
and swap my Zuikos between them and an E-thing but any DZ lenses would
be dedicated to the E-thing. If I used the C*n*n for both film and
digital then I can use all my Zuikos and any new C*n*n lenses on
either body.

Granted I'm still hoping to suddenly come into significant photo
income so that I could justify a C*nt*x or H*ss*lbl*d MF system with
the soon to be released PhaseOne P45 39mp back.
