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.

That was one helluva thread. I was, in turns, enlightened, bemused, shocked,
disgusted, surprised, repulsed, encouraged, worried, and finally a bit relieved.
But really, Godfrey, this lifestyle choice of yours, it can be, how should I put
this? Disturbing. I mean, far be it for me to judge, but I just don't believe
that anyone is predisposed to that kind of thing.
I mean really? Olympus?
Whatever, dude ;-)
