Default Re: E-330 review now on DPR

So what's your "review of the review" Paul? I find myself agreeing for the most part with Phil. However, I think there are some key things that Phil doesn't seem to tackle, from my view perhaps because he's not a photographer (unless I am wrong on this last one). Seems to me that to Phil high ISO performance is the end-all-be-all, ignoring perhaps the fact that there is much more to a camera than high ISO performance particularly when the e-330 is not in a "consumer class" in doing them.
More so considering how it seems most people seem to be inclined to shoot RAW anyway, in which the e-330 closes the "quality high iso gap" even more - or the fact that Olympus lenses tend to be faster at the same price ranges of the Canon.

I really want to give a true spin to a Reberl 350XT just because I am curious about how the camera feels and behaves in Street Night Life shooting, particularly the autofocusing speed & accuracy... I just get the impression that in the "real world bullet list" of requirements Phil's list only has "high ISO performance" for the most part and may ignore "interface" or "lens size." That still being said, I agree with most of what he posted, and agree the 330 may be a tad overpriced.
