Canon Follows Olympus Lead

Live preview .... Olympus

Supersonic chip cleaning ... Olympus

Two memory cards at same time ... Olympus

However, here is one place where Canon leads:

Canon $4,000 Olympus E-330 $600

(although I have to admit that if I had a spare $4,000 lying around and could write it off ;-))

Interesting observations, but i would say Canon has the lead in the most important part of the camera too: the sensor. And not all EOS sensors come in a package that i can buy several used cars from....

There's no question Canon's sensor is superior. One other item of note on the Canon is the new G7 will bomb. The G6 is a superior camera. I also couldn't help but notice how much Nikon's new Coolpix 5000 looks like the SP-350. I'm kind of curious as to how Olympus's new point and shoots with ISO 5000 handle the noise factor. As an owner of the E500 I was a little disappointed how that DSLR handled the noise at higher ISOs.
