Olympus has always been a very innovative company and designer of world-class optics. The E-1 is a superb camera and in many respects the E-500 seems an improvement in many areas. What really makes the FourThirds system though are the phenomenal optics available for it. No competitors lenses even come close to Olympus' 14-35mm f2, 35-100mm f2 and 90-250mm f2.8 lenses, with there super quick and unchanging maximum apertures.
