Ah...  But you missed the fact that one is on e-bay.
E-bay is a haven for folks with more money than sense.

Also...  There is no image for the second offering.  Only an "E-" rating.
I wouldn't trust that either.  Would you?

For Gods sake, why would anyone want either of them?

Possibly because anyone might have an Olympus camera

Because I thought I'd like a change and whilst in Dubai bought one with it's
two lenses. Yes, I know, I should have bought the Canon and I think I should
have. Canon were not giving two lenses....not until I got back to Oz! Damn!
But, Olympus of old, FILM cameras were ok. I'll see how this goes. Yes, It
supposedly has a Kodak sensor which I would have laughed at, except for the
knowledge that Kodak provided sensors to Hassleblad for its digital back
(and Fuji for much of the other parts!). Just who can you trust anyway?
Nikon used to be the camera of choice for press. Now all of a sudden, here
in Oz at least, Canon digital is taking over!

Because for some unknown reason, that person was never processed
through the Canon droid-making factory.

I was never processed through the Canon droid-making factory and bought
a Nikon.
Go figure.

I think I was, had a Canon G5, excellent camera, daughters are now on their
3rd generation of Canons. In Film days I was (am) a Pentrax droid, but am
now living with an Olympus E500.

Can't figure :-\

No. I loved my Canon G5. Great pics but SLOW Shutter Lag. So decided for a
complete change. DSLR Sometimes my decisions are not good. But, I'll give
Olly a good and fair run.
