"most importantly, its image quality and ease of use are very impressive."
Some mistake surely?
This format doesn't have a future. Anyway, the sensor is much too small to produce good images. Besides, it certainly can't hold a candle to images from a 5D. And, Oly cameras produce lots of noise. As well, the E3 is bigger than is should be. Didn't it only score 82%?
(Apologies if I've missed anything - I'm only standing in for the usual doom mongers, who appear to have gone to sleep on the job ... tsk tsk.)
