ROTFLMAO. This thing is too small to be real. I actually may need the grip just to feel like a big boy. Lol
As I have been testing out the new camera here, the M lenses all feel fine without the grip. With the R lenses I have, including the R 19mm, 28mm, 35mm, 50mm, the camera starts to feel like it is a bit too small to attain real comfort without the grip (which I don't have at the moment).
It may be an issue of getting used to it (I haven't had a camera this small since the Canon A-1 20+ years ago; even my F-1's at that time had the motor drives attached all the time).
But, I sure do feel like I'm going to like this camera! If I can feel happy with my M lenses on it, I'll be seriously cooking with gas.
I especially appreciate Marc's comments on the camera, as his comments confirmed some aspects of the a900 back when it was first introduced that I had felt, in particular the color rendering, so I am very interested in what he finds in time.
