In camera terms is certainly is. Look at a pair side by side sometime. Lets see. The width of an MX (side to side) is 94% of the width of an LX a camera that most everyone would admit is much bigger. (In fact the LX is damn close to the same size as that old K dinosaur the K2). The width of an ME is 96% of that of an MX, hum pretty close to the difference in size between an MX and an LX.. While it is true that the ME is front to back the same dimension as an MX, and from baseplate to to the top of the Prism housing the same height (it would have to be wouldn't it), if you look at the difference from base plate to top plate, excluding the prism housing you'll see that the difference is about the same as from side to side. (I don't have them right at hand so I can't measure them exactly). This makes a huge difference in the size, and handling. So I stand by my statement.
