And with regards to weight and bulk, I carry an Hasselblad outfit all over the place, in town, hiking, you name it. I admit it is bulkier and heavier than my Leica M outfit, but it is comparable in bulk and weight to my wife's R8 outfit and my Canon EOS 1V outfit. An Hasselblad 503CW with standard lens and back is suprisingly easy to carry around and handles quite well.
