How could I have doubted?

Yes, pixels should be meaningful, not just slammed in.  I don't care
if the new E-thingy comes in at 10MP or so, as long as Oly doesn't
sacrifice any color and handling performance.  A live histogram by
some method would mean nearly chimpless shooting again.  I hope that's
what's coming.  I think I would value that more than IS.  Noise is not
an issue for me as the E-1 is still fine in this regard IMHO.
