The E420+25mm is actually smaller and lighter than an M6/7/8 with a 50mm Summicron, say. It will of course accept any 4/3 lenses. The high ISO performance is pretty good up to 800, hit or miss after that, but that is already better than any P&S I have ever owned. And for me, it serves the additional purpose of being a backup to the E3. All my PAW 28 pictures from a few weeks ago were shot with this combination: http://www.fotocycle.dk:80/paws/?page_id=149 Cheers, Nathan Nathan Wajsman Alicante, Spain http://www.frozenlight.eu http://www.greatpix.eu http://www.nathanfoto.com Books: http://www.blurb.com/bookstore/search?search=wajsman&x=0&y=0 PICTURE OF THE WEEK: http://www.fotocycle.dk/paws Blog: http://www.fotocycle.dk/blog On Aug 15, 2008, at 2:51 AM, Rob McClure wrote: > > Pardon me if this was discussed during my hiatus from the LUG (and I > did search the archives without success) -- but what are thoughts > concerning the E420 for carry and street photography?
