Currently, my attraction is  mostly towards the *istD. It's small like an
 OM, and I have (really good) Pentax lenses at hand. The advent of the
 OM-to-E1 adaptor made E1 a viable  consideration.  The EOS's I've tried
 thus far have been 1v - which is huge (but a good cam...) 1D is essentially
 the same, size-wise...no?
