Ian, you are absolutely correct. Even though the E-450 viewfinder
isn't wonderful,
and the body is indeed bulkier than both an E-P2 and an OM-1/2/3, the
E-450 is probably still a nicer digital travel camera from a usage
perspective.
I must say, a Canon G11 feels a lot nicer in the hand than an E-P2, but
it's also a drag to use when it comes to responsiveness, and it's
optical
"finder" is pretty useless. And small-sensor image quality just
isn't "there" for me. Especially for something that is 60% as large
as an OM-1/2/3 in anyway (lens not included, of course :-).
