Because it's cheap?
I've got an E-20, and still use it occasionally. The non-removable
lens is just okay, with significant barrel distortion and some CA.
Overall operation is fairly slow, unless you're manual-everything. On
the other hand, I love how utterly quiet it is. You can do some real
candid work without your subject constantly being made aware of the
camera. And it has a built-in intervalometer, so you can do simple
time-lapse with nothing more that the camera and QuickTime. I did a
5,000-frame building site movie just last summer with the E-20.
With an E body, you have a wonderful assortment of glass to choose
from, including all the OM legacy lenses, via adaptor.
