Thanks - I was very happy to get those shots.

The E-3 is great. Excellent build quality, weather sealing (probably the best out there unless you get a 1D or D3), 2x crop factor great for wildlife, built in IS, articulating screen, fast AF, IQ and tonal rendition is very good although ISO 800+ lags behind the 40D and D300 (just - not much in it). The Zuiko lenses are amongst the finest you can get too. I also have an E-1 and will be getting the E-3 mkII when it comes out soon. I also have the Zuiko Digital 9-18, 50, 50-200 SWD, 12-60 SWD, EC-14, EC-20, EX-25 and the Leica D 25mm 1.4. If your wallet can stand it, the top-pro grade lenses are very highly regarded. I couldn't stretch to the 300 f2.8, hence I have the old manual focus OM 350mm f2.8 (which I got for an amazing price a few months ago).
