That's just blown every sensible reason for buying an E1 then..... except
that they are going really cheap on eb*y now.
In accordance with all known scientific principles in the search of truth
and precision accuracy I just weighted myself on the bathroom scales with
and without my standard c*n*n setup. Should I have done this with or
without my clothes on I wonder?
Anyway, 11lb difference. That's a C*n*N 1D2, 70-200/2.8L and a 550ex flash.

Can we please put this size and weight issue to rest? The E-1 is not an
especially small camera despite the marketing hype from Olympus except
in comparison to a top of the line pro camera from Canon or Nikon which
have built in vertical controls and hand grips. Weight without battery
of E-1=660 grams; 20D=685 grams. That difference is 25 grams or less
than an ounce. The Canon 300D and the Nikon D70 weigh less than the E-1
and both Pentaxes are significantly smaller and lighter despite having
physically bigger sensors.
