And yes, I am prevented from 'endorsing' other manufacturer's digital equipment - I am not, however, compelled to say anything I do not believe about Olympus equipment, nor am I constrained in giving my honest opinion if it - and I don't think that anyone here could honestly suggest that I pull any punches when discussing the equipment.
