The only problem with removing the battery pack with cameras like this -
or the F100, or the E-1, is that they are best balanced, and configured
for the hands, with the packs attached.

Nice to see that you can remove the battery pack.  The f5 was too big.

They have better technologies that they can deploy, better AF and 
metering, as well as the i-TTL.  They have been selling sb800 
flashlights and I do not think it is good that their top of the line 
film camera cannot take advantage of the technology.
