Jerry,


The sensor is as large as it can be given the size of the body, and the body 
will not be smaller due to electronics and packaging issues, mainly the LCD 
requires a thicker body, and height will also be the same for the same 
reason of the LCD.  
Live view does not interest me, due to excellent viewfinder already in 
place.
