Not wanting to argue, just my thoughts :-)
IMNSHO, both in weight and size it's just about right. Smaller and it
would be worse to hold, lighter and it wouldn't be so easy to hold
long shutter speeds. And it is substantially smaller than even the MX
- not in some dimenstions but in volume, or how to say it... simply,
the camera under your coat doesn't create a bump, unlike MX with a
same spec'ed lens, or god forbid a DSLR with equivalent lens. The M
fits perfectly into a Domke satchel pouch, with a lens or two.
Good light!
