Great lens as well.
Funny E-10 story: a woman in my department would try to use this camera
periodically. She was one of these extremely intelligent, ultra competent
people, but she could never get the E10 to to work properly. One day I'm going
through thee whole process with her. She aims thee camera and hits the shutter
release. Smoke starts to come out from under the flash. I was sure the camera
was toast, but it still works fine to this day. My friend bought a sketch pad.
;-). Actually, she later left chemistry and became on of those folks who sails
expensive sailboats from point A to B for the rich owners that didn't have
time. The most common trip was from the US to the Mediterranean and back. As I
said, an amazing person. She met a nice pirate and settled down (on a boat of
course).

Subject: Re: WTF? was OT: new camera
My first DSLR was a used E-20n.
Whisper-quiet, built like a tank, and takes wonderful photos. I looked
at Olympus for a long time when I started looking into buying my first
new DSLR. The great thing about it is that it was a fixed-lens, so I
didn't have anything invested beyond the cost of the camera and all the
accessories ($120 US + shipping). So, I was free to look around. I
was, of course, tempted by Canon and Nikon -- cajoled by friends to go
with Canon, so I could be a part of the club. And, was even lured by
the guy at the camera shop to try a Sony.
But, I stuck to my guns and got the K-x that I'd been salivating over
for months. Nary a regret to this day. But, I still like my Oly, and
would use it a lot more often if the write-speed weren't so achingly
slow. I've loaned it out to a kid to use as a learner camera for his
school newspaper.
