I was expecting a bigger difference than that and pictured the camera kind of being about the size and weight of a Nikon N55 if you are aware of that one. I happen to have one and shooting with a camera of that size and weight I find very appealing. "Shame it ain't digital" I found myself thinking. Almost like Leica CL of SLR's. But's I'd expect a Nikon version in the next year or so. And a Leica version in about 5. Who knows once they got that first digital back out they might really start Rockin and Rollin!
