Women with small hands and midgets need only apply.

To me, it's what a digital SLR should be about, rather than sticking with
the constraints of last-century's 35mm format.

Well see how it's received.  I hope they release an updated E-500
though.

Seems fine to me.  Considering the 4/3 format sensor is about the same
frame size as the old 110 Instamatic film format I think a digital
camera the size of the Pentax Auto 110 SLR would be possible and
welcome. I never picked one of those up but I did use a Minolta 110 Zoom
SLR for quite a while and liked it. JMO - Guy

Novelties will bankrupt Olympus.

Are you saying the E-400 is a novelty camera? Why? I assume you are pro
Olympus and are not just taking a shot at them. I'm serious about the
Pentax Auto 110 form factor. If they eliminate the display or make it
optional option al with an external feed the size "should" work; the
E-400 is almost there now. -Guy

So, you've finally found the perfect dslr for your[little]self. Throw up  
some pix when you get a chance.
