Originally posted by falconeye I don't think the precision of extrapolation is high enough to say so. Let's say:
About as wide as a K-m.
And about as high as a K200D.
hate to bring it up but...anybody concerned about the grip being TOO small?
the K10/20D was almost universally lauded for its ergonomics despite its compactness at that tier. much of that had to do with the excellent left hand "lip grip" which now won't fit and the meaty right hand grip which we've already seen has become much narrower. making the body taller makes sense, many people's little finger went under the camera, but making it so much narrower may have compromised its ergonomics.
what i'm really afraid of, and truthfully getting prepared for because i already see it happening, is the deepening the grip like the K200 and K2000 did for the same level of security. not only does this seem harsher to my hand (which magnifies over time), but ultimately this also makes the whole camera deeper and more obtrusive - something that i find counter to the "Limited" philosophy. i could actually have the K20D and the 40DA under some of my jackets.
with mirror-less designs being all the digital photography rage this past year, the G1 and their own partner's NX, i hope Pentax doesn't gloss over people being excited over SHALLOWER cameras. like the Olympus 4XX series, this "Limited" camera would have been the perfect camera to push the absolute depth limit of its (K) mount.
