Bob, That's a nice set of street scenes!
I have several times nearly bought an Olympus E-1. It was the hottest contender next to Pentax when I was choosing what to buy in late 2004 ... the E-1 body is a truly professional quality camera with every good bit I wanted. My reservation was, and is, the lens line: Olympus has concentrated mostly on the zoom lenses and I prefer working with primes most of the time when I have the option. Pentax' prime lenses won me over to the lower spec DS body, and the hopes that a suitable higher end body would appear soon. An E-1 with the 14-54 lens is a great kit. The 11-22 zoom and recently introduced 35mm f/3.5 Macro are also excellent lenses. Good luck with it!
