I also agree. I am an Olympus shooter and went to the Oly SLR system with the hopes of the promise of 4/3′s living up to it’s promise of a smaller form factor. Well, as a part time pro I bought an E3 to replace my E1, it is quite large and not the easiest to travel with. I like the thought of having a “travel” SLR, therefore the E420 fit the bill perfectly. Not to mention the “Y-Strap” is the perfect companion. Thanks for the thoughts, they are right on.

I agree, though I can’t say that I’m any better. I currently have an Olympus C5050Z which I purchased shortly after it came out. I have the small FL-20 flash because I used to take pictures while I was at Raves/Clubs and post them on a website and I found it useful to have the external flash for speed sake.

I’ve been contemplating replacing it with an Olympus E-520 and start out with the 14-54mm F2.8-3.5 lens, and then later on get a bigger zoom if I ever think I need one. I just can’t seem to find a camera that’s worth replacing my 5050 over though.

I print 4×6′s normally, mostly my pics are screen viewed. I have full manual controls and never use the viewfinder, always the LCD or simply point and hope for the best. I can’t seem to think of any reason other than I’m greedy to get an E-520 over something mor practical like you’re G9 suggestion, or some other full featured P/S.

Since I never liked taking pictures (I’d say photography, but that’s not what I do ) before having the 5050 it’s been a really great camera for learning on how to control my settings, and how to figure out which settings will take the best picture. I’d really like the ability to pick a lense for the scenario too, butI doubt I’d use much more than the single lens if I got the 14-54mm one mentioned above. If that’s the case, why not just get a P/S with a built on lens that can take a telephoto accessory lens in a pinch? (Kind of like my C5050Z).
