Not so fast, on the left we have the Kodak Medalist II, (Kodak, they
make the sensor in the 645D), weighing in at 2lbs 14ozs, with a fixed
100mm lens in a machined aircraft aluminum double helical, and a
machined aircraft aluminum body, hell just assumed it's all machined
aluminum clad in leather, from the days that a camera could be used as a
weapon and still take pictures after being used to brain a Nazi. Takes
8 6x9 (actually about 57mm x 84mm) exposures on 620 spooled film. On
the right we have the Pentax K20D weighing in at 2lb 1.68oz with the FA
43mm limited mounted. Construction steal frame with advanced gasketed
polycarbonate body. Takes a variable number of 14.5 mp images using a
sensor that's 23.4mm x15.6mm stored on SD cards.

Now given that the K20D when introduced was considered a smallish medium
sized DSLR and the Kodak Medalist has a reputation of being a large and
heavy rangefinder, the actual difference in size and weight isn't that
significant.

Don't lose heart! They might want to cut it out, and they'll want to avoid a
lengthily search.
