I have to admit to being tempted to switch to the
Olympus E-volt. I have recently seen specials of the
camera with 2 Zuiko lenses for about $800.
It's a good camera. I had some time playing with one shortly before they
were released and found it a good performer. However, I didn't like the
control layout very much, the high-ISO performance isn't up to the Pentax
or Canon 6MPixel SLRs, and the there are only a few primes in the lens
line. The E1 is a nicer body, far as I'm concerned, and I'd buy one of
those in a minute if they had the lenses I want.
I compared my *ist D next to a Canon 300D and E1. The E1 had the absolute
worst viewfinder. Worse than the 300D... Like looking through a tunnel.
yuck.
