Crop?
I think the biggest reason to shoot 10MP is to be able to crop to a decent 5MP.

That is what is required for minimum density on a two-page spread in the Journal
I sell a lot of stock photography as well, and I have noticed a lot of agencies will only purchase photos taken with a 10+ MP

X2 on checking out the Strobist if you are not familiar with that blog.
I'm not sure what you and Jeremy cooked up for the Tuffy console, but I just used a standard Domke insert in the center console on the Suburban. I think I had one body, for or five lenses and a flash or two. Worked great and the Domke insert kept it safe.
I know several people moving to the E420 along with a 4x5 for general field work.

Great choice! Olympus gear is not the most popular but has much to recommend it especially for outdoor use.

I'm anxiously waiting to see some of the more concentrated results from the Central America trip shot with Olympus gear. I've been shooting with an Olympus for years and it has been a really fun camera to use.
Last winter, I slipped on some ice and flung my camera bag up in the air as I fell. I was devastated to find the top of the camera body had a big dent and the bottom of the housing had a crack in it. But the camera still works like the day I bought it. Tough little units.

Congratulations! I picked up an Oly E-520 and a 12-60mm last September. My other cameras are a 4x5 and a Canon G9. I think the E-520 is an excellent camera for the weight and the 12-60 lens puts canons and nikons similar lenses to shame. The reason I went for it was the 4/3 aspect ratio and the wider angle on the lens. Neither Nikon or Canon make an equivalently good lens with this focal range for the crop cameras. Pathetic. Enjoy your camera.

I interested as well.
I have been shooting Olympus for a few years and love them for many reasons. I have not been happy with the FPS, the noise issues at high ISO and the focusing issues in very low light.
I would like to know how you feel about the E-3, 50MM 2.0, and the 12-60mm specifically. I am looking to upgrade either to the E-3 or new E620.
I have the 7-14mm which is a very fun lens. :victory:

I will try to post a complete review soon. As a summary, the cameras have done exactly what I had hoped it would, which is to get robust construction and sealing in a smaller form-factor. I am even looking at getting one more body (E-450) and the 28mm pancake lens for ultra-compact moto adventures and for Jeremy to use at the shop.
We are going to start transitioning all of the Canon gear soon.
