The small sensors in the Olympus D-SLR range (2x crop factor) means obtaining a wide angle required for landscape photography is going to be impossible. A 17mm becomes 34mm which isn't really wide enough.

Sorry but that is not true. Firstly you do not need wide angle lenses to take landscape photos :) People use a variety of lenses depending on situation just like any other subject. Secondly Olympus do make a 7-14 zoom so 14mm 35mm equivelent is quite wide ;)

A thought. Bodies come and go. A year ago, Canon seemed to have the edge (IMO), now Nikon seems to have the upper hand (depending upon the price range you're talking about). The point being that bodies have short lifespans and are being replaced quickly.

In comparison, lenses are around for years and will almost certainly outlast your camera body. Link in the fact that a couple of good lenses will cost more than a good body, and I'd like to suggest that you should focus on chosing the lens supplier you want, then worry about a body afterwards.
I'll agree with that :) good advice :)
