On my recent trip to Campeche, Mexico in the Yucatan while fishing in a skiff with Keith Kaneko I did get a chance to try his new Olympus SLR. He had a very wide zoom lens (10-22mm) which equates to 1.6x larger in old 35mm film dimensions.

It has a very fast shuttle release where many small digitals have a slow response time. This allowed me to catch Baby Tarpon in the air with little effort.

We will be posting some pictures soon.

Canon, Nikon and Olympus are producing these new 6 MP plus SLRs starting at around $1000.

For action photography they are very nice.
