Wayne -  after using Leica lenses on two Olympus E-330's ("Lympa") 
for almost three years, I am still convinced of this amazing little 
camera and amazed that Olympus abandoned the revolution they started 
with the 330. Even Olympus has gone back to the hump-in-the-middle 
body design (even with the new E-30), re-joining Nikon and Canon in 
their thinking that the bodies may someday need to be retrofitted for 
film!  Sheese - even the horse splash-guards on early automobiles 
disappeared faster than the still old-world design of DSLR's.

The Olympus "E" line with live view, especially the E-330, took full 
advantage of digital and is the most creative advance in camera 
photography since the 1954 Leica M3. See why I think so at:
