 Some specs on this: 104x104x81mm, 660g. For comparison, OM4T is 136x85x50,
510g. With the 28-108/35-80 lenses mounted, the E1 is lighter, narrower, has
more zoom on the long end, is about (guessing based on pics) 15mm longer,
and loses 1/3 of a stop (I think, though my math may be wrong there). Oh,
and it's weathersealed, for what that's worth.

 and vs other cameras:

Canon EOS-10D  Canon EF 28 - 70 2.8     44.8-112mm  1692 g (3.7 lb)
Olympus E-1    Olympus 14 - 54 2.8-F3.5 28-108mm    1174 g (2.6 lb)
Nikon D100     Nikkor 28 - 70 2.8       42-105mm    1520 g (3.4 lb)

 Another other bit I noticed; the viewfinder has an internal shutter to stop
light getting in by that route for long exposures. Cute.
