Well, my wife smokes, so I took one of her packs (standard cigs, not 100s or
anything like that), and the dimensions are:

89mm x 55mm x 23mm

So yes, the Sony is not too much longer or wider, but considerably fatter.

It strikes me as a good cycling camera, something to keep in my handlebar
bag.

Cheers,
Nathan
