Hi

I too am starting my camera gear from scratch. What is your thinking behind adopting the new standard? I haven't been able to get my hands on a new E-1 yet, but the light weight (for use as a travel camera) seems to be a plus, along with physically small but high quality lenses.

What do you think about the picture quality. Most reviews are slamming the noise and insisting that the Canon D300 and Nikon D-70 are better.

thanks
David

I think I'll go with the Oly four-thirds system, might as well start from scratch!
