Hello All, Besides looking sharp, nobody mentioned that it must have been very cold with all that snow out there. I remember in the old days cameras had to be preped for cold weather not to mention frozen battery issues. I see the E3 held up well, even the IS. How long were you and the E3 out and about?

I have wondered just how much the Image Stabilization in the Lympa E3 helps.... For the answer, I went up on the hill, where I could look over our little town... Two shots... the first is with the 50~200 Zuiko zoom (at 90mm - hand held). The second is with the Leica 400mm Telyt f6.8 .... also hand held. Without the use of the pistol grip or shoulder stock. This was indeed, "doin' it the hard way", but I wanted a true test of the IS. The framing in the second shot is off, as I find the 400mm (especially with it's 800mm FoV) hard to aim, without the monopd or shoulderstock, but the results still amazed me! http://www3.telus.net/~telyt/Temps/IS_Test.htm Comments appreciated.
