Then, when looking around for a second body, I realized that the E-1 could be had for the same price as later, cheaper models, and it started life as a "Pro" camera. I am not infatuated with the large MP sensors, I just wanted a good sensor and a rugged, easy to use, body. When I came across a mint E-1, I grabbed it. To me, it seems just right for my uses.
