Hi again, Y'all-
Well, it is a clean break, at the moment. The E-510 came with the 14-42 
kit lens, but not with an adaptor for OM Zuikos, so there is no way to 
use them on the new body yet.

I got the kit from Cameta, is was a demo unit that looks new. Now I just 
need to figure out how to use all these buttons on this thing. It came 
on Friday, just in time for the mountain bike outing on Saturday that I 
was photographing. It worked well. The shutter delay is a whole lot less 
than the Kodak Z650 I had been using.

The red light indicating which focus point is being used is nice, but 
I'm not sure how to predict which one it will use when it can pick on 
its own.

I had a moment of panic when I found that my tried and true image 
editor, Micrographx Photo Magic, could not reliably open the images that 
needed editing and rotating. So I loaded Olympus Master software, and 
found that it displayed all the images right side up. I ended up 
rotating with the picture viewer that Vista uses.

Thanks, Steve Goss, Dallas Tx usa
