Cool. Post a few shots later if inclined...I wouldn't mind checkin' them out.
The e10 is damn rugged, so I wouldn't hesitate pickin' up a pre-owned one myself. I dropped mine about 30' down a rocky slope in the Niagara gorge about two years back during a fall. Shattered the flash housing and rotary dial on top, and put a few good scuffs in the body, but luckily the lens didn't shatter. Retrieved it at the bottom of a dry, rocky riverbed...cleaned it up, and it worked fine (even the flash still fired).
It conked out about 6 months later so I took it in to an Olympus shop in Toronto and they rebuilt it entirely back to factory spec (and upgraded the firmware to include the pixel remap function). The rebuild cost $1,100 - but insurance picked up the tab.
Still works like a charm today. And I'm up to 80k shots with it.
