Me neither. I'm considering a DSLR, want in-body IS and a price I can
manage. So E-510 vs Pentax K10D. Olympus certainly has some nice
zooms; 7-14, 12-60 and (eventually) 14-35 tempt me greatly. But Pentax
seems way ahead on primes, especially the tiny 21/3.2 and the 70 mm L.
Slow, but really compact and reportedly very sharp.
