Well, The E-5 was just announced, so nobody uses it yet. The specs seem 
remarkably similar to earlier models, so unless it is the king of 
low-noise/high ISO, I don't see anyone switching TO it. The top of the line 
Olympus lenses are good, and there are enough MP and resolution for pro use, 
but it would be tough to draw any pro who is already using Canon or Nikon.
