And I've always been completely up front about that Adam - as well as about 
the drawbacks with the system. (as anyone who has contacted me off-list for 
more extensive assessments can atest, I call it as I see it.)  As to 
competition, Panasonic and Olympus are sharing technologies and development 
strategies. If I think one is better than that other am I supposed to 
remain silent? I don't think so.  I think the pricing a feature set on the 
camera in question are foolish. Period.
