Moose, I have no concerns about my Negative comments about the camera.
Olympus spent great effort downsizing this thing to the point of
unusability for some of us. That was their choice. It is my choice to
determine whether or not that design choice works for me. It is entirely
possible that the optional grip addresses that issue. But, by the time I
add that, I'm getting up there in price and size to where I might as well
get a more robust system.

Olympus knows full well that the camera, by its self, is unable to satisfy
those of us with big hands and big lenses. Failure to have the grip readily
available as part of the store presentation is a choice that both Olympus
and the store has made.

But, maybe none of this matters. The vast majority of the cameras were
purchased sight unseen. It's like trying to use the new iPhone. The sharp
edge cuts into your ear, but that doesn't matter. It's the latest Apple.
Therefore the problem is with me, not the design. People will buy cameras
based on specifications, not on how it fits. The end result is that they
are quick to change cameras because it just leaves them cold.

I do acknowledge that this can work the opposite way, too. I'm still
enjoying my E-1 in soite if the fact it is beyond worthless in imaging
capability.
