I realize that you're being tongue-in-cheek, as most of this thread is. I'm 
sort of surprised that Olympus even entered a world dominated by Canon and 
Nikon and did so with such a small sensor. It might have made sense if the 
camera and lenses were radically smaller or the optics/sensor were expected 
to get radically better. But watching the rapid demise of Contax digital 
shows how difficult it is to break into this market.
