On last Saturday, there was a large dancing performance at an open
area just outside the art center here. I met an E-10 user (actually
there was at least three including me :-), who is around 30, he
equipped his E-10 with the vertical grip (over US$500 with lithium
battery pack) and a 1.45x lens adapter. I had a brief talk with him,
he said he started from an Olympus C2500, before that he never shoot
film (except may be P&S camera).
The trend may be changed, try recommend him a digital ;-)
