[OM] Digital Dilemma

Hi Zuiks and Zuikettes, I haven’t posted in a while, but I’ve been lurking.  
(Although I have to admitting to giving up on most threads as they began to 
drift into the grate OT).

Like many on the list, I’m suffering from digital envy.  In addition, I’m 
approaching middle-age (I’ll be 50 next month) and my eyesight isn’t what it 
once was and I have been considering transitioning to an auto-focus system. 

Anyway, an opportunity has presented itself and I need to make a decision.  A 
fellow I work with yesterday bought a new C*n*n EOS 20D.  He’s offered to sell 
me his “old” 10D for 750$US.  Although that appears to be a good price, it is 
still a lot of money to me.  Here are my questions:

1)  Will any of my glass be of practical use with the 10D (I have about 20 
lenses from 21 to 500) with an adapter?

2)  Since people on this list shoot both, what are the relative merits of the 
10D versus the E1?  Is there any real advantage to staying with Olympus?

3)  Is the 10D obsolete already?

4)  Have I gone completely insane?

Any and all replies are appreciated.  I know most of this topic has been 
covered many times recently, but until this morning, I really was trying to 
ignore the digital gorilla in the corner.

Thanks,

Kerry Frohling
