Your statement here is a little baffling. Olympus makes several different SLR models and three lines of lenses. The E-1, E-3 and E-5 are the professional bodies, which are built very robustly and are large as a result. The pro and hyper-pro lenses are fast, weather-sealed and large/heavy as a result. The E-4xx series bodies are tiny, the E-5xx series and E-6xx series about the same size as the Pentax K7 from what I've seen of both. The Olympus consumer grade lenses are quite compact and still good quality. And then there's the Pen Micro-FourThirds line if you want very compact and unobtrusive Olympus cameras. Same size sensor, much smaller bodies and smaller lenses. I don't see the problem. Pick the camera that fits your desires. They all produce excellent quality images. Why complain about Olympus because the top of the line professional camera and lenses isn't also ultra-compact ... that doesn't make sense, they have other products for those that want ultra-compactness. -- Godfrey godfreydigiorgi.posterous.com -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
