I have to agree with the idea of moving away from traditional sized film cameras in order to better utilise the benefits of digital capture. My first object to be trashed would be the 35mm slr body, A piece of equipment that must be the least ergonomic bit of kit on any market in any profession. Fuji Olympus and Minolta are all heading the right way with the 602, E20 and 7Hi cameras. They are all easy to use,handle very well and feel right in the hand. They are however all made for people with a master right eye !!
