Yeah. This is probably why the E-510 has that ^&^#$% grip.

Personally, I'm leaning toward the E-410, just because of that
grip...although image stabilization is a big win, ergonomics beat it in my
mind. If I want more battery power, I'll use another solution.

I won't make the decision, though, until I've actually handled them both.
