I'd just like to add voice to the chorus that the Kodak camera sits well in the hand. However, it is touted to be light; which I think it is not. If your hands get weary from carrying an LX for a few hours, you'd need a bit of workout to keep up with this one. It's close to a kilo without batteries.
I suggest you buy a Pentax 645nII to train with...:-) A good neck-strap might be a good idea too...
