The body's actually a fair bit smaller than a DS. The K-m is the smallest DSLR currently announced or available, being the same size or smaller than a Oly E-420 in the two dimensions that matter (depth is controlled by the mounted lens and so the E-420's smaller depth measurement is irrelevant. A K-M with a DA 40 will be almost identical in depth to a E-420 with a 25mm pancake)
I'm pretty impressed with the K-m, which I very vocally wasn't about the K200D. -Adam On Mon, Sep 22, 2008 at 12:24 PM, Bertil Holmberg <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Pentax calls it small and kantan, kirei, omoshiroi, tanomoshii, > tanoshii and anshin.
