I hope it's not smaller than the K-30.
I would say the grip is "smaller" unfortunately. It does not feel as "deep" front to back, although it does seem to be the same width - it feels like the same volume being clutched in my fingers, but my finger tips seem like they do not have as much room to hook around the grip. This is a very SMALL difference, but not negligible. The grip on the K-S2 is also more square and less contoured, which means it doesn't feel as "fitted" to my hand. the K-30 hasd a more rounded grip, and that little pointy part right under the shutter release that made it feel really secure in-hand.
Sounds like I'm complaining, but the grip design is fine with me, because the entire camera itself somehow seems more balanced than the K-30 in regard to evenly distributed weight.
