Thanks everyone! I really appreciate the advice and suggestions... have NO idea what I will ultimately decide, but in the mean time, I really do love the 410... especially its size and ease-of-carry.

I think I will go hunting around for a 14-54. I have the kit lenses and I find I almost never use the 40 - 150 except when I beat myself up about being versatile... try a different style of seeing etc...

This is probably the best Oly/photo forum I have ever met... great group!

Thanks again.

Hey Greg... thanks! This is a fact that had escaped me... one of those oh so obvious things that I might never have considered until it was too late... and on checking, the 12-60 costs just about half what the camera costs... oh my!

Think maybe I'll wait. Even if the nice 410 dies a horrible water-related death, I will be able to replace it several times over for the price of an e-3.

As stated, I love my E-410. It does exactly what I want it to, it does it very

well and I can think of no fault except for weather proofing... it (of course)

does not have any.

I am a street photographer. I sometimes get stuck in the rain or snow or...

well, just about any kind of environmental trouble you can think of. But, it is

small and light and quick and if it lacks image stabilization, so did my

analogue Nikon FE.

Olympus has won my heart, but I want a weather proof, or at least weather

resistant, camera... it seems the only choice is the E-3, but, it weighs twice

what the 410 does and costs more than twice as much too...

Is it worth it?

Will it work on the street?

Anybody have any experience using 'the big one' day-to-day shooting street stuff?

Thanks for any insight you can offer.
