That was my feeling too, Dag. Although the lack of a grip and
pentaprism hump might make it a lot more carryable.
I'm now waiting for the CP+ show where Samsung is meant to announce
the new NX20. I'm hoping it'll be the size of the NX10, which I find
near perfect (size-wise) for a MILC, though I do hate the DSLR shape
and much prefer the EVF in the corner, as the NEX-7 and X-Pro 1 have.
