Russ, I used the E-10 for about a year before switching to a Canon digital SLR for what I thought would be a better system. And in some ways it is. But I miss the E-10. It has a SHARP lens. The color is pretty dead on no matter what the lighting conditions. The exposure is perfect for most scenes, and it has a functional spot meter for those occasions that require it. For a one lens camera, Olympus did a great job of putting on a very workable range in its zoom. And, probably the best thing about it was the weight. It is a light outfit. As I recall, the lens on that camera was one of the first designed specifically for a digital camera so it would focus the light on the pixel array better than most. The only downer I found was that the NiCads don't like cold weather. And I didn't like it for sports, but I don't like sports and only tried it once to see if it would work. I wasn't pleased. It will trigger a studio flash (keep the batteries charged) and it is GREAT for head shots. Highly recommended. peace, rand
