faster than many mechanical SLR!

The slowest one in E-10 is ISO80. But you can check:

It mentioned the performance of E-10 at ISO320 was also very good.

The price of memory card dropped very fast, I bought a 32MB early this
year, now with the same money I can buy a 64MB. May be next year I can
get a 128MB at the same price.

(eagerly waiting for the E-10 for snap and fun, but still fine tuning
my OM system, just got two small Zuikos (28/3.5, 135/3.5) as I don't
like the 28/2, 28/2.8 and 135/2.8 that I have.
