Not sure whether it's the size of my hands, but for me it's the perfect camera. I'm just recharging the battery pack and connecting it to a small electric motor (from an old slot-car) to discharge it and then recharging again to "re-form" the Nicads, the pack isn't retaining the charge as well as it should - probably hasn't been regularly charged for years. I think 3 or 4 cycles should do it - If it doesn't, I'll take it round to our local electrician and ask him to replace them with something more up to date. In the meantime I'm playing with the bellows on a DSLR, I never used bellows before so I've now got something new to learn.
