Ha! No such luck; I had years of Shakespeare' plays, most of which I've come

It would be pretty blocky, it's got a FF prism, an articulating screen,
and a full frame mirror box, and probably a very powerful, for a camera
body at least autofocus motor, all of which take up space. It's still
probably smaller than a Canon EOS with none of those things.
