... I could see the e500 as an advantage as well in respects of a light walkaround second body. I'm doing my work with the E1 and love the tank-build body which is Oly bless weather proof. But for hiking I thought of a lighter camera with built in flash ( the FL50 sometimes gets heavy on the mountains
so I thought of a E300 but now the E500 ? - lets see how the reality is .
But anyway, if it brings mor users to the 4/3rd system its good for us all
happy shooting and a nice day,
