As a 4/3rd shooter, I believe the Digilux 3 is a very good camera, and the Vario-Elmarit a great lens. But I also believe the current 10MP Olympus bodies outclass it in resolution and low light performance. The 7.5 MP sensor in the Digilux is, if I understand it correctly, the same as is used in the Olympus E-330. As tempting as this offer is, I believe I will wait for the 10 or 12 MP successor to the Digilux 3, if there is one, before jumping. The extra resolution makes enough of a difference, as does the ability to use ISO 800 without a second thought.
