Having something first is no good if others in the meantime have copied it. 
Once upon a time the automatic dust cleaning may have been a USP for Olympus 
but those days are long gone.

In a way, I am glad to see that the E5 is such a yawner because it means 
that the value of my E3, currently being sold by Ffordes in the UK on 
consignment, will not fall too much.

I am pretty sure this is the end of the standard 4/3 system. The MFT is an 
altogether different, and much tastier, kettle of fish.

Cheers,
Nathan
