Can't disagree with you there, Doug. I imagine we are all after best 
image quality with the most portable camera equipment. For example, I 
still shoot some aerial photos with the Hasselblad ELM and then scan 
the film with an Imacon Flextight - about a 50 megapixel combination! 
But I think that the Oly E-330 is one of the best compromises right 
now for quality and portability.

As far as birds go, your incredible bluebird photo inspired me to 
post the latest Lympa Log with some of the mechanized bird species included
