Again, don't be fooled by the height of the prism and the front to back depth, which includes the protruding eyepiece and articulated screen depth. The actual body is small and thin, like an LX.

I agree, no it isn't a film SLR obviously but a lot closer than many previous massive DSLRs. The KP with the small grip is a very nice camera to hold reminds me of holding a mid 80's Program Plus when I was learning the tips 15 years ago from my dad.
