True. But I find that the base of the camera (OM4-Ti, even with grip 
1), when held horizontally, rests primarily on the last two fingers 
() of my left hand, while the first three fingers of the left hand 
hold and operate the lens rings. I cannot rest comfortably the camera 
in the _palm_ of my left hand, the camera is not big enough for that.

I use much the same position for my fingers when holding the camera 
vertically. Unfortunately this means that in this case, my right 
elbow is up there floating, not tightly positioned against my torso, 
which would be a more stable position, but I can't seem to be able to 
do so (or I have to use my middle finger to press the shutter).
