Just bought a Nikon D600 and 24-120 F4 lens for landscape shots. Still keeping my Olympus set-up for wildlife and birding.

I really believe that Olympus owes it to those who purchase their HG lenses deserve a new body that does justice to what I think are the best lenses around.

moved onto canon ff myself. . . .once you've gotten used to having that lightning quick af and great iq no matter what kind of light you find yourself in it gets hard to go back. You'll soon find yourself buying a nice zoom, opportunities aren't worth being missed over brand loyalty - photography comes first. The oly gear is collecting dust but not worth a whole lot anymore. . . not sure what i'll do with it.

I am not ready to give up my E-30 just yet! I was looking at pics from the holidays (mostly inside) where I was shooting family functions and my BIL was there with his 5DMkII + Ziess 35mm F1.4. His set up cost more than mine by many times but my pictures were not much worst than his and many much better. The only difference was that I had to use my flash with diffusor and he didn't. I have a lot more keepers, despite of low light. Do I want a FF camera - you bet I do but I also think that I would rather take another vacation than spend $5K on the photo gear that doesn't earn me any money. So I am sticking with my $500 E-30 and collection of HG lenses (almost all of them second hand).
