I am not particularly bright either, in this field that is. What stops Oly
from simply putting a new sensor in the old and trusty E-1 body? Marketing
issues? Technical issues? Is there any rule which says that every new
digital body has to be more fancy than the last one? The OMs did well, and
all looked more or less the same, and all were pretty attractive (and still
are). In my humble opinion my E-1 is just perfect, I don't need a brighter
viewfinder, I don't need larger LCD, I just want a bit bigger sensor.
