Interesting to see that this very early prototype looks more finished
than the
E-3 mock-up they are showing us now. Every button is named, very fine
detail
and there is a button for the CF-card door. I am starting to believe
the E-3
mock-up is just there to mislead us. I certeinly hope so... I'ld rather
like the E-1
form factor (They didn't change form going from 4 to 4Ti either).
But if there would be a wheathersealed E-XX taking the shape of the
E-1...
