Hi P�l, I'm pretty pleased with my Oly E-10 but I'd be keen to find out what Olympus have up their sleeves, have you any links to snippets of information about it? Of all the digital images I have viewed it seems quite apparent that as the image sensor gets smaller the visual quality suffers, any number of reports will confirm this, and it's not likely to improve. The complex relationship between glass MTF and sensor pixels size vs noise and dynamic range is governed mainly by the functions of semiconductor behaviour and the absolute wave-length range of visible light, these are things that we can't improve magically. I'm really keen to see the quality of images that could be delivered by a full frame 6MP sensor, given the relatively low density I'd say it'd be pretty stunning.
