Olympus Evolt Series
Would like to start a thread for enthusiasts of the Evolt series who want to swap information and share pictures. I'll ask that it remains friendly and not turn into a brand or camera bashing thread.
If you're unfamiliar with this series but are thinking about venturing into the dSLR world, this might be worth a looksy. Photos. The camera I'm interested in, the E-510, has been designed as an entry level camera, in particular for those going from point and shoot to dSLR, though experienced users are enjoying it, too, as evidenced by the many positive reviews out there. Some professionals are using it as well.
As traditionalists like to point out, it has what some consider to be shortcomings, which I'll acknowledge here so we get down to the business of discussing what this camera can do. Noteworthy is the fact that Olympus has won a 2007 Award for Innovation for the modern features incorporated into the E-510. Some initially scoffed at things like Live View and Dust Reduction but other brands are now offering these too.
So - who's got them? Who's thinking about getting one? Who's never heard of them but is interested in learning more?

Thought I'd update with some current information on Olympus for those interested.
