The E-1 is a camera that was much more than the sum of it's parts IMO

That's certainly a vote for classic status and this view does seem to be shared.

Wow! Brilliant pictures and they would certainly pass muster against today's cameras.

Yes, it does seem a long time ... Give it another five years then work out what proportion are still in active service. If it's a true classic, then the figure will be fairly high.

Yes, good point. I suspect there will be quite a few still going in five years as a lot of people are hanging on to them. Here's some data on shutter life performance to date. As it's based on only 23 submissions, I'm not sure how accurate it is, but interesting.
