All things in proportion, it is large for a camera which fits in your pocket 
;-) They say it is OK to 12"x17" prints.....

I'm sorry but I don't call a 2.7X crop sensor a large sensor. I call it a
small sensor. Bigger than my pinky fingernail. But needlessly small. A
camera with a sensor that small I'd like the size of a classic Minox.

Just because consumers buy camera with sensors the size of your pinky
fingernail does not me that a 2.7x is big.

The least Rollei could have done with a camera like this is have it be 4/3
's 2x crop. The least.
