My Minolta A1 creates RAW files under 7.4MB compared to just
under 10.5MP with the E-1.  Both are 5MP sensors.  Both are
lossless.  I believe both store the same bitdepth.  What gives?

The E-1 does have a pretty deep buffer which is unaffected by
storage format, though.  You know they pumped a bunch of memory
into the image-processing chain.
