Maybe...but off the top of my head I think of the Contax S2, Aria, and
TVS...the tiny Minolta, what's it called, that sells for more than $1K...the
Nikon 35Ti and 28Ti, the Leica M6TTL and Olympus OM3Ti, Minox 35 and Rollei
35S.
I'm not sure small size alone is enough to sink it. Size is more a matter of
current fashion. At some times in history small has been "in," at other
times small size is definitely "out." I think maybe Pentax is being smart
here...their experience with the ZX cameras maybe indicates to them that at
least part of the market is sick of huge, clunky cameras.
God knows *I* am. <s>

What the heck *is* that little Minolta called? 28mm lens. And it's a
*really* nifty little camera, too, very tiny, and super controls for such a
little thing, and the lens is very good except for a bit of vignetting. I
can't remember what it's called.
