Thanks for the comment, as for the E1, I love it, it has a solid feel and a nice balance, it is very quiet and fast in use, and does everything with an air of quality. some of the pre-sets are not to my own likeing, but that is my feel, I am sure that for others they are fine. It feels just like a 35mm slr and has a lot in common with my old F90x.
I don't know if anybody from Olympus ever see these boards, but I have this to say.... Digital SLR's cost the average man a lot of money, and it would be nice to think they would last, so why do they not give 2 years warrenty, and how about making the digital sensor capable of being upgraded as and when higher resolutions as and when they become available, as I for one would pay to have the upgrade.
