Let's get this straight Albert, and please don't beat about the bush: is this camera big or not? I am not sure that you make it completely clear in your otherwise informative post...

FWIW. I keep getting my littlest lens out to make some money on it, but I can't bring myself to put it onto the "Bay" - it is just lovely!

Hmm..  I've taken a look at some of the newer cameras, and I swear, the
people who designed the cameras are the same people who design Monster
trucks.  "Bigger is better" mentality.  It really annoys me.  My friend just
told me he went to a camera store, and saw some of the new Canon's and he
was torquing the body, and the store sales guy freaked out when he saw how
much the body torqued!  The Canon is massive compared to the OM.  Also,
there is a million functions, which probably will never get used...  and
it's HUGE.  I saw a guy who was carrying his camera bag, and I snuck a peek,
and saw that he carried the same thing I did, a flash, 3 lenses, some film,
the body.. but his bag was at least twice as big as mine.  So I'm fairly
happy with my OM.
