Size comparison with K5

Confirmed, the X-Pro 1 is just another way to make a K-5.
IMHO, an APS rangefinder-style camera should be much smaller than that.
Otherwise, it's rather pointless.
Well, I dunno. I'm not a fan of the fad for ever smaller cameras. My
K200D is about right. I've handled a K-r and it's too small. An APS
mirrorless camera of any size has an advantage over a DSLR in being able
to accept virtually any lens (provided appropriate adapters are
available). To me, that's the main advantage. Size isn't an issue.
Price is. :-(
Brian, don't mistake me for a Q-size fan, which I'm far from being. For a
rangefinder-style camera, I'd like a size comparable to the E-P3, or an MX,
if you prefer. In fact, I'm still waiting for an MX-D (now possible, by
using the mirrorless technology).
Assuming that one already owns a medium-size APS DSLR system, I don't see
the point of the X-Pro 1 because it does not give noticeable size/weight
advantage. Oh, and I can already use all of my lenses on a K-5 ;-)
