W     H    D
K-7:      131 x  97 x 73 mm
*ist-D:   129 x  95 x 60 mm
K10D:     142 x 101 x 70 mm
K200D:    135 x  97 x 77 mm
MX:       136 x  83 x 50 mm
ME:       131 x  83 x 50 mm
LX:       145 x  91 x 50 mm
MZ-5n:    135 x  90 x 62 mm
MZ-S:     137 x  95 x 64 mm
PZ-1p:    152 x  96 x 74 mm

And a few comparisons from other manufacturers:

EOS 50D:  154 x 111 x 81 mm
EOS-1 Ds: 150 x 160 x 80 mm (includes battery grip)

D90:      132 x 103 x 77 mm
D300:     147 x 114 x 74 mm
D3x:      160 x 157 x 88 mm (includes battery grip)

E620:     130 x  96 x 59 mm



My observations, in no particular order:

 o  Digital cameras are much thicker than film bodies.

 o  The PZ-1p was *enormous* for a Pentax film body.

 o  The K-7 is very close in size to the *ist-D, except
    for the depth.  So if you liked the size of the *ist-D,
    you will probably be happy with the feel of the K-7

 o  The Nikon D90 is a pretty compact camera, too.  Not
    quite as small as the K-7, but definitely no behemoth.

 o  The K-7 is pretty close to the size of the Olympus E620,
    except for the extra depth (most of which is probably
    due to the register distance).
