Luis,
M too big? Not for me... Until I had the R-D1, a M6 with mostly a 28 Color 
Skopar mounted on was usually in my jacket's pocket. Now it's the Epson, 
with the same lens. Have smaller compact RF cameras (Rollei 35XF or Ricoh 
500GX) but use them rarely because of their restrictions. I'm actually 
evaluating a compact digi for family and allday use, too.
