8 Megapixel consumer DSLR from Olympus ... will this be a formidable
challenge to the Canon Digital Rebel and the Nikon D70? Will this be
the big break for four thirds?

Three new lenses too ...

My guess with that sensor size is... No.

Sounds right.

I'd like to suggest an answer for the Naming question on dpreview: The
inquirer wanted to know why Oly can't just call this new one the E-300
or some such.

Look at the number of posts in this group around the time Mr. Canon
introduced his 300D that were from Brand New users who referred to their
cameras as "Digital Rebel". Still happens. Watch how many who go for the
Oly and show up talking "EVOLT".

How can you expect to combat a REBEL with an e-something?
