I don't quite get it either. I have not manipulated an E-300, but the
E-1 does seem huge as compared to an OM. Not to mention the lenses -
they may be smaller than the competition, but they are large when
compared to Zuikos - just look up the filter ring diameters
Only Pentax seems to have kept small size as a design goal, unfortunately.
