I think I can read between the lines Raist
. Most definitely a small cam like the E-400/410 is ideal for this type of shooting. I'm a little surprised that you jumped for the E-3 so early on as you've always stated that your ideal setup is something small. That's why I still keep hold of the E-400. It's nice to have that option. Ideally I'd love something like a Leica M8, but my hobby nor my pockets extend that deep
