Sylwek Actually, The Olympus does quite well compared to Canon D10. Not quite as sharp though. And much more noice. dpreview tested it agains Sony DSC F717 too, which actually does very well in spite of the smaller sensor in this pro-sumer 5 MP SONY (which I BTW own and enjoy using. I am expecting the *ist D to be significantly better - should I ever get one :-).

It seems that according to FotoMagazin E-1 is better than Canon 1Ds :-))) Well, their tests were often controversial. For instance when they tested low cost SLRs two years ago, they gave Nikon F65 more points for features than MZ-6 (ZX-L).It is enough to look at smome specificatios of both cameras to know that N65 s much less capable than MZ-6 - no spot metering, no Custom Functions, no HSS flash, shutter speed 1/2000 (vs 1/4000)... I'll leave such a "tests" without comments. Otherwise I haven't seen a single test, where E-1 would have better picture quality than *istD. -- Best Regards Sylwek
