Pentax K-m size comparison with ME super, K200D & G1

soccerjoe5 · 11-26-2008, 11:53 AM

Here's a pretty cool thought: I think it'd be AWESOME if they can make a K-m sized body with a huge viewfinder like the ME Super, I'd be willing to lose the built-in flash for a bigger viewfinder

(I'm not guru in building/designing cameras though)

I can assure you that you are not the only one.

Nope, my guess is there are quite a few of us.

The image from DPreview doesn't show just how much smaller the Olympus E420 is compared to the other cameras - especially with the kit lens attached. There are 2-3 mm differences in width between them, but viewed from above the dramatic differences become obvious.

This image comes from Digital Camera Resource Page - Independent, Unbiased Digital Camera Reviews and their review of the 420.

With the new VR lens the D60 has really bulked up, I suspect the K-m looks somewhere in between the 420 and 1000D. The 420 is also about 200g lighter too.

My own photo, after I aquired a K-m today (couldn't resist

)

I wish they started to make cameras in that black/silver colour scheme again...

Agreed. I saw the silver K200D which is ugly in comparison. The DS has nicer shoulders, too

BTW, my DS silver isn't for sale
