    "Of course, it all boils down to price. To find acceptance, four-thirds 
SLRs 
    would have to be less expensive than today's lowest cost digital SLR, the 
Canon 
    10D. It's the only way Olympus and the others can hope to establish a new 
    standard, although there's no reason why more costly models couldn't be 
    produced later on.

    The re's a window of opportunity here while most digital SLRs are still 
    relatively expensive and don't support the full imaging capabilities of the 
    lenses they use. Once full frame digital SLRs become affordable by the 
advanced 
    amateur, that window closes. If four-thirds can establish itself before the 
    window closes, the standard could be with us for a good long time. If not, 
    it'll go down in history as another good idea that never quite got off the 
    ground."

even a blade of grass, it becomes a mysterious, 
awesome, indescribably magnificent world in itself --
