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).
