It is, indeed. I bought it new, right after they came out around two 
and a half years ago. It still more than holds its own against the 
current crop of digitals. Before I bought it I spent some time with the 
Nikon D1; the E-10 blows its doors off in terms of image quality, 
mainly due to the E-10 having optics better matched to the CCD (though 
having firewire on the D1 was nice).

It also has been extremely sturdy. I turfed it pretty hard into a 
concrete floor around the beginning of the year... hard enough that it 
bounced several times.

After I calmed down and subjected it to a more thorough inspection, the 
final bill of health reported nothing more than a couple of minor 
scuffs and the loss of the diopter adjustment in the viewfinder. I was 
seriously impressed (and more than a little relieved).

Apart from all that, I only have one or two small nits, most of which 
relate to navigating image playback on the built-in LCD. It would be 
nice to have a focus aid in the viewfinder, and a faster shutter speed 
than 1/640th of a second; most of the time I don't miss either of those 
two features. In all other respects, it's a superior device. It's been 
well worth every dime I paid for it.
