We understand there are lots of other qualities to concern but they are not 
easy to tackle technically. In all aspects Olympus were not better than 
other competitors except IS and movable LCD in E-3. I don't think the E-3 
will be anything close to the 5D or even D200 in image noise, the speed of 
operation will not be better either. We understand the limitations and 
accepted them. I have some RAW images with E410, as long as the E-3 is not 
poorer that is "ok" with me.

Olympus trade off the sensor size with a compact camera system (they 
claimed), we expect there are something we can tell others about the 4/3 is 
different but what we can tell now Olympus is catching up with the others 
including weight, there is even not a single wide angle or standard large 
aperture prime lenses (except the big expensive Leica 25/1.4). Yes, there is 
a fisheye, unfortunately it double the size and weight of the OM 16mm with 
additional chroma at the edges.

Size does matter to me, I sold the 10D and purchased the E-1 with 14-54 not 
long from its announcement but I didn't purchase the 50-200 at that time 
because it looks too big, it is just a 200mm zoom even with smaller image 
circle why it is bigger and heavier than other full frame 200mm zoom? I 
expect the 4/3 can be smaller in all aspects include the pro body.


Although I just sold the DZ50/2 and 14-54, I will still purchase the E-3 but 
could wait until the clearance sales. I'm waiting for the 5D successor to 
see how it will be priced or just purchase a 5D, my 30 OM Zuikos are just 
waiting for a digital body to get back to work.
