Perhaps.
Like Tom, I'm underwhelmed. A bigger sensor, especially since they have so
much more silicon to work with, would have been good. A lower price is
almost mandatory. I can't see the E-1 with 14-52 being worth more than a
couple hundred bucks over an E-20n. That would put its street price point at
about $1800. Will it get that low within any reasonable length of time after
introduction? I doubt it.
Practically speaking, though, the E-1 as it sits (with a couple of extra
lenses, unless the 14-52 does a reasonable job of macro (cmon, folks, we
KNOW the 50/2 macro will blow the doors off anything else out
there...Olympus *owns* macro, and has for years), driving the cost up
another kilobuck or more) would satisfy me. I don't print anything larger
than 8x10, and there's a gorgeous 8x10 I gave my roommate's parents last
Christmas that came fromt he E-10.
At any rate, it'll likely be several months before I have to decide. Maybe
by then, the E-2 will be out.
