Well I don't know about "severely limits." The little harddrive with the 
screen is pretty small, not much bigger than the little screen itself, a bit 
thicker - it looks like it would easily fit in a vest pocket or small pouch 
on the belt. 

I wouldn't want to carry this rig into battle if that's one of the "many of 
the purposes" you're refering to. 

I also wouldn't bother with it for newspaper work - what a waste of pixels 
that would be. 

Not a great travel rig either - for a tourist - 

UNLESS - 

you want to blow the competition out of the water with TRAVEL STOCK files - 
guaranteed success - if you can afford the price of admission. 

>But it sure ain't a Leica M - or R. ;-)

Never suggested it was anything other than what it is. And this is the main 
point. Each one of these device/systems offers just a little something 
different. Each has a slightly different fit. And it's an incredibly 
exciting time to be alive in the realm of photography - where folks are 
doing fine, gorgeous work with 100 year old view cameras and platinum prints 
as well as $50 obsolete, digital point-n-shoots and an epson. It's all about 
the content (what does it talk about) and the print (what does it look 
like). The rest is just talk - fun - sometimes interesting - sometimes 
informative - sometimes meaningless - talk.

Fond regards,
