To your last two questions, yes and yes.

The E-410 is the DSLR that Oly should have released to the market four 
years ago, followed by the E-1.  Put a legacy 50mm lens on it, and it's 
basically a digital OM-4.  Its menu system's a bit clunky, but y'know, 
that could all be fixed with firmware upgrades, assuming Oly wanted to. 
  But I'll live with it as it is -- and if the new E-Pro-Thingie isn't a 
great leap forward from the guts of the E-410 (particularly in terms of 
the dynamic range, which is a bit lower than the E-1), I may not move up 
until the E-Pro-Thingie+1 (or +N, I guess...).

Of course, I'm spoiled by the Digital Zuiko 7-14mm F/4.0 I bought to go 
with it.  ;-)
