And the weight, well.... A friend of mine has got a camera that begins with C and ends with 40D complete with a lens that, whilst I'm sure is excellent, cost about the same as the camera body and probably weighs more as well. When she picked the e520 up she could not believe how light it was. Incidentally, we took some test shots in her garden with both cameras taking similar pics. After comparing the raw files afterwards we were both impressed with the Oly's performance. What differences there are ain't that noticeable. Pixel peepers can ignore the last two sentences as I'm sure that there are differences really!

Blimey, I must be psychic. I see next weeks AP has got a head to head between the e520 and the D40! Interesting comparison given how much cheaper the e520 body is. I guess lens selection for this head to head will also be interesting. Mind you, given my comments of a couple of days ago, I might just go into hiding and ignore it all
