Also the sensor is not mediocre, it is susceptible to poor exposures more than some, but properly exposed even ISO is usable. I also have newer Olympus DSLRs and the image quality from the L1 in some respects exceeds them when MP are scaled. The L1 and L10 have very week AA filters, which makes output extremely sharp. The L1 has excellent colour reproduction but benefits from working in RAW. If you work in RAW you will find the DR is amongst the best in class. Plus no mention was made of three of the L1's best features, the bounce flash, the quality of construction and the feel in the hand.
