Carrying was not an issue. I lived in the Netherlands at the time, a place 
where you wear some kind of jacket year round. What really put me off was 
that auto flash was on by default; since I hate flash, I always turn it off. 
However, the Minilux reverted to its default settings every time you turned 
it on and off. And to get out of the auto flash mode took 6 or 7 presses of 
a tiny button. I just got fed up with that.

Cheers,
Nathan
