I just held it briefly, but it didn't feel different from any other ZX bodies, so I suppose it's not any smaller than the others. Have you tried any of those? It's been so long since I had my ME Super that I can't really compare them. Incidentally, my husband -- a big man with big hands -- uses a ZX-10.
