Thanks Richard.

As I (and others before me) have said, the amount of detail in a well- 
exposed M8 image is superior to almost anything else. Having said  
that, I am keeping the E3 for the occasions when an SLR is required.  
The Olympus lenses I have for it (the 12-60 and 50-200) are very, very  
good--maybe not as good as Leica but certainly better than the Canon  
lenses I used before (and yes, I had L lenses).

Cheers,
Nathan
