interesting. with olympus getting out of the low end digital business
- point and shoot - and concentrating on the high end - dslr -, nikon
stops producing film cameras and canon thinking likewise, its going to
be an interesting year in the camera area.

PC Magazine recently had a review of the Olympus Evolt E-500, in case
you're interested.

just another nikon geek bashing olympus.

My complaint with Olympus is the warranty coverage. Bad Switch, 1 month out
of warrantee I sent in. Flaky switch. They would repair for $10 less than
a new camera and give a warranty of 3 months vs. 1 year on a new one.
