Hey Terry,

Thank you very much. The trip was a blast for several reasons. The group experience cannot be beat. If you have never been on a trip like this with a group of competent people, it is definitely worth the experience. I learned A LOT in 5 days...even though there was very little in any terms of didactics.

From a camera use experience...Olympus is the first company to loan us a camera and lenses for review. While I admit that I was really hoping for the eventual E-1 replacement, I have been quite pleased with the camera. As an 'all around camera,' I think it does the job quite well.

While it is not designed to be in the same body class of cameras as the D200, 20/30d, or E-1, it is an excellent tool in the right hands. I look forward to writing the report after I finish doing some last testing.

I hope that the photos I am providing are good testaments to the camera's ability in every day usage.

James
