I second the E-10. I have had mine for over a year and over the past 3 months have been hiking with it in my day pack. I got the battery grip and lithium ion battery for it, which was definitely worth it. The results I have had with it are great. I am finally starting to want to shoot professionally after so many years of not using my photography degree.
BTW, the E-20 has a 5MP CCD and a few other upgraded features.
For those that want removeable lense, you can sometimes find the Nikon or Canon lower end (4-5MP) for around $1500. yes it still expensive but they give great results and if you already have an investment in their respective lenses then that might be a great option. I am starting to see Canon D60s coming up for sale used for cheap as well. so look around.

I'd definitely prefer a D60 'cause I'm planning on buying a Elan 7e eventually too, so the lens interchangability is a big positive there. But, since I'm seeing factory refurbished E-10's going for as little as $800 on ebay, that's my first target I think. Of course, by the time I amass the money for that, maybe the D60 will be cheap enough.

Hey Thomas, checkout the macro play with the new G-3. I needed a tri pod. But they look ok.

Anything else you'd suggest for my set up? What about polarizing filters, or other filters?
You may remove those pics. I just wanted you to see them.

You may want to get a circular polarizer. Personally, I don't use (or own) any filters. I'm too lazy to mess with them. My setup is a G2, 4 oz. mini tripod, spare battery, spare CF, and a lens cleaning pen. Camera goes in my front pocket and the rest goes in my backpack.
