Why is it that the smaller the imaging "sensor" the larger the
camera? For example, the DSLRs have been HUGE! Or back up to
the EOS-1n and the Nikon F5. These cameras are massive. Yet,
an average medium format camera weighs less and is smaller.
Think that Pentax 67 is big? Not when parked next to an F5.
People who buy cameras are size queens and camera makers know it. Take
a look at a Nikon forum some time as they denigrate the D100(which is
like a tank next to an OM4T) and talk in glowing terms of the heft and
solidity of a D1X. It is as plain as the badge on your SUV.
