The thing looks like a top-secret military weapon..

I'd be embarrassed by the amount of attention that thing would draw.

Only in photography does it become how apparent.... size matters....

Handholding? I hope that things comes with coupons for a chiropractor.

I'm going to have to disagree with you there. I love seeing people who buy high end cameras and shoot in auto. I can get a better picture with my wifes Sony Cyber shot with a few manual settings!

I have to argue with you here because I have a major lens envy issue!

I would buy one. But it won't fit in my bag.
