Well, I show my ignorance again <g> I still think that this whole OM to E-1
adapater business is pretty much a non-issue, at least for me. Given the
choice of having the adapter and not having it (were I to get an E-x), sure,
I would like to have one. But it won't be THE deciding factor for me. More
likely it would be sensor size and performance, followed by IS capabilities.
I have so much confidence in Olympus getting the ergonomics right, that I
could buy one site unseeen if that were the only criterium.
Others may totally disagree, of course, and I respect that. Just my 2
loonies.
