OK, it seems compact, and it has a shutter wheel and aperture adjustment on the lens. There's something to be said for that, I guess. But they have nothing like the stable of lenses and accessories and flash system and on and on of the Nikon and Canon SLR system cameras. What in the world are they thinking? or smoking? Really, really weird. Scott B. D. Colen wrote: >Go for the Oly E330 with the Oly 14-54 2.8-3.5 and it will set you back apx >$1450.
