Rory - not the APO version... if you're out this way you're welcome to take it for a test drive... FWIW it's actually not a bad lens at all if you have decent light, I found it quite sharp to tell you the truth - it just can't begin to compare to higher end lenses though...
Shadowboy - I looked at 4/3 when I was buying because I actually like the aspect. The problem with DSLR's outside of the big two are technology shifts, and people jumping in and out of the pool leaving camera owners flapping in the breeze. Minolta, (now Sony), Kodak, Sigma, Olympus and others are so clearly the "followers" they are at a disadvantage. I know you will say that Sony's in-camera IS is their own or Minolta's, which it IS... but it is also simply a new twist on Canon technology that has been around for years. I for one, have invested a lot of time and money into my system and sure wouldn't like to see my products just disappear from market because sales weren't high enough to warrant continued development and production. Also look at the lines of accessories and lenses available for each camera... NOBODY compares to Canon in that aspect... just my 2 cents.
