It has a 3 bar espresso machine built in? You need some water for
that feature!

Could explain why it's so big???

In all seriousness, while I can understand some people wanting a
small and/or light body (and hey ... you lucky people have got the
ULTIMATE in that in the E400 very soon!), other scenarios are
helped by having a big bad camera that screams 'pro'.

I'm not denigrating your preference for a big camera here, but I can't understand why you chose Olympus in that case.

The whole point of the E-system is greater compactness. In every other way, competitive systems have the same basic potential as the E-system, and, in some ways, greater potential.

So why not get a Nikon or Canon pro body? They're plenty big, the Canons especially -- certainly more impressive in the "I'm a big pro body" kind of way than an E-1 could ever be.
 
Iy does not look so big to me, but I wil speculate anyway.

Maybe as rumored (by Joe Wisniewski for one), this will have a high quality EVF up there instead of an OVF.

Or as someone else already said, the second small CCD for live view mode A on the LCD is in there.
 
Maybe they'll make a normal size version of this thing for us ordinary

folks. I think Gareths' comments about big being impressive for pros are well taken, but for my money I'd still like something smaller. Smaller even than the E-1 but with the E-1 quality. Maybe they'll do like Nikon and make this big bruiser their flagship, but come out with a much smaller camera for the "Advanced Amateur" or a "Pro Back-Up". That's what I'd like.

I don't think that is the whole point. The point was that the E-System was developed from the ground up with no legacy strings attached.

Smaller size is a side effect of the redesign. The smaller size is not what prompted the redesign. The redesign prompted a smaller size.

Sure, smaller size is one of the points...I would not build my entire campaign on that point given that many Oly cameras are no smaller than their counterparts.

if you read the Oly president very recent announcement on the jp website, he seems to be stating that they are going to cater for ALL sectors. Good news all around if you ask me :-)

I actualy like the ability to have the power grip detachable. Its a great thing a lot of the time and a great big thing in the way the rest of the time! The ability to take in on and off is fantastic.

The one thing that a big body does give you is that having all that rear real estate allows you to have a large screen, lots of (useable) buttons, LCD status display etc.

I saw a chart here on this forum recently and the E1 has the
highest magnification of all the DSLR's, but the actual area in the
viewfinder was around the same as the 20D. The 1Ds MII has twice
the area and the 5D have a 50% increase.

But magnification specs are confusing, aren't they? Sometimes quoted with a reference actual focal length (like 50mm) which, depending on crop factor, renders different field of view on different cameras. Should be quoted at a standard 35mm equivalent focal length I think (and yet aspect ratio messes that up slightly too). I was under the impression that the E-1 had the most magnification of the current E-system cameras but still lower (at equalized FOV) than other systems.

Yes. In such a comparison, the E-1 has a magnification of 0.5, whereas the better DSLR viewfinders are in the 0.6-0.7 range. I've put a 1.2x magnifier onto my viewfinder to get 0.6 equivalent.

Cheers,
