I want to purchase a DSLR but I don't want a lot of weight.
Does the Olympus Pen series auto focus & shoot pictures just as fast as the Canon xTi's.
I'm also looking at the Pentax K-r from Costco.
What is ment by the term 4/3's?
How are the lenses on the Olympus compare to the Canon lenses?
Is the Sony 4/3s better than the Olmpus Pens?
Sorry for so many questions.

I use an Olympus Epen for my point and shoot when i don't want to carry around a lot of equipment. It is terrific.

Olympus makes some great lenses. Every manufactor makes great lenses and then make awful lenses and then some inbetween.

I am not a Canon users so I can't compare to the pen.

I have taken images with the pen that are seriously sharp and I am a sharpness "nut".

The 4/3 reference is to the sensor size which is smaller than a dslr and larger than a point and shoot.
