Judging from the picture it looks awfully small. I've got hands
just large enough to play bass guitar; if the camera is as small
as it looks, I'd probably find it hard to hold onto unless there's
some sort of battery grip attachment that made it a little closer
to ME or KX size. (The ME is a little small for me, but useable.
I held one of the modern bodies in a store last year and found it
too small to be comfortable.)[*]
Yeah, yeah, I know, I know ... Pentax does make an answer for that
problem in their current lineup, and yes, I do want that larger
negative. I hear you ... I'll join the Brotherhood _someday_. But
probably not while I'm living below the poverty line. (I finally
got around to looking it up, and yikes! I am in fact below it.
I have got to find a way to change that.) Of course, I'm not going
to be able to afford a ZX-L anytime soon either...

[*] Yes, I do realize that the same feature that's a problem for
me is a _solution_ for people with smaller hands. Diversity is
good -- "the right tool for the job" should also be "the right
tool for the wielder".
