The E-1 is really an excellent camera; I believe it to be one of the classic digital SLRs, well-designed and really easy and effective to use. It's a shame Olympus haven't produced anything but consumer-grade cameras since then - if they'd even have put the 8mp or 10mp sensors out of those in the E-1's body, it'd have been better than the situation pro-level shooters who chose the E-1 have been left in. Olympus has been promising a new pro-grade camera for years, but it never seems to happen. I'm frankly not sure why. The really bizarre thing is that they've kept on coming out with extremely expensive and well-made f/2.0 zooms, without a new camera to put them on.
