If, like the average person, you are not rich enough to spend thousands on DSLR's and their ludicrously over-priced lenses, you can still get pro-results from the cams. Keep in mind that your new Olympus probably has better image quality than the 2 megapixel Nikon and Canons that sold for 5 grand (body only!) just three years ago.
I shot a few covers using a Sony D75 (Zeiss lens) that easily rivaled the image quality of the "Pro" DSLRs.
One way of course is to pre-focus (hey, anyone remember spending time setting up a large format shot?)
The other is to be ready . You have to be ready whether there is very little shutter lag or no shutter lag at at all.
