E10/20 is a bit different from consumer DC because they have a larger CCD than consumer DCs. But in terms of image sensor technology, they are the same blood as consumer DCs, instead of D-SLRs.
optical finder however they use a splitter not a mirror like conventional SLRs.

If you check this document you will see that in fact the mechanical systemsThis would also cause the difference. Most of the "pro" D-SLRs like D1x or 1D, they don't have built-in flash at all while Fuji's S2 use a separate power source for operating the internal flash and auto-focusing. Nikon has done the trick by reducing the output power of the built-in flash of D-100 (it is still rated at GN11 despite the higher ISO and 1.5X FOV).
involved in focussing and also flash charge consume the most power in the E-10

I do worry about the power consumption rate of the coming Pentax D-SLR which has built-in flash while MZ-S is a known battery eater.
