Yes, good points about price comparisons. It's a shame that a lot of reviews get hung up about how it compares to X or Y based on price. I've fallen for that in the past and it's really not a variable that should be so important.

Same with ergonomics - it's really a personal thing and even for a reviewer who (one would imagine) handles lots of different camera systems all the time you sometimes feel that personal perferences and prejudices come forward when discussing such subjective things as how it handles. No doubt the E-3 is a complex camera but it's mostly a simple matter of adjusting to the layout. Sometimes that may take quite a bit of time, which is what reviewers generally have very little of.
