Just handling the body only it does feel great in hand no question. Its close to size of a Nikon D90 and yes GH-3 is a mini-DSLR.

I find it ironic that some m43 users like bulkiness. Why not just get a DSLR?

I find it ironic that some M43 users don't value ergonomics.

I second that. As far as I'm concerned, once it's too big to put in a pants pocket then size becomes mostly irrelevant. Weight, however, is still a concern, and in that respect the weight difference between the various bodies isn't all that great, once you take into consideration the total system weight of lenses, bags, and assorted gear.

But I'm not primarily a street shooter. For a street shooter I understand that stealth can be an advantage.

I think that for many people who were OK with the GH2 size, the GH3 has reached a threshold, were it is no more the small camera people associate with the mft format. But there seem to be a market dfor somewhat bigger cameras, especially if the lenses are kept lighter and smaller due to the smaller sensor.

I guess there must be a market for bigger cameras, or Canon and Nikon would't sell so many of them. 

To me the size difference between the GH2 and GH3 is negligible and the latter's improved ergonomics and features more than compensate.
