You might end up changing your mind.

The 4/3 sensor size can probably give more resolution than most 35mm SLR
users get with their film cameras. Sure the digital wide angle lenses will
probably diffraction limit sooner (7mm at f8 is a pretty tiny opening) but
you can change the ISO setting when you change lenses to match the usable
aperture range. The cost and weight of the 4/3 system telephotos should
eventually be better than 'full frame' digital cameras.

Film still has some definite advantages;  resolution with ISO 100 film, wide
selection of Zuikos, & archiving slides is fun compared to digital files but
the balance will constantly shift away from film. However digital can right
now save a LOT of time!!! and the instant feedback is valuable. The E-1 is a
very nice camera which will hopefully be the beginning of better cameras.
