I think you nailed it right there. If there had been a good APS-C small camera out at the time I bought my K10D I would have never gotten the K10D; or the expense and bulk of the lenses to go with it.
Some will say it isn't technically possible or it will be too expensive, but I call BS on both of those claims. Sony is selling their DSLR-A200 here in the US for $450 with a lens! So obviously APS-C sensors are no longer too expensive. Some say they couldn't make a pocket size camera with good controls; but before Ricoh made the GR Digital they made the 35mm GR-1.

If you're like me and don't take a lot of telephoto pics I think something like an APS-C Caplio GX200 would be the perfect camera. Have you ever taken a look at Terry Richardson? He just uses cheap point and shoots. He even did a spread for the SI Swimsuit Edition.

Like they say, it's not the camera...
