For those with a number of Nik*n mount lenses and/or Tamron Adaptalls, 
it's the great trade-off. With low end Nik*n DSLRs, you get focus 
confirmation, but no metering at all. You need a separate meter. With 
Pro Nik*ns, you get focus confirmation, metering and auto diaphram stop 
down. With all Can*ns, you get stop down metering, no focus confirmation 
and no auto diaphram stop down.

I was not going to pay the cost of the Pro Ns and preferred built in 
stop down metering without focus confirmation to no metering at all, so 
I would have leaned toward C anyway. The ability to use OM mount lenses 
on C and not N made it a no brainer for me. Don't get me wrong, the N 
system is very attractive. If I were starting from scratch, it would be 
a strong contender.

I still wish Oly made the DSLR for my needs, maybe next round.
