Yeah, I always get a laugh when I read digs like "boat anchor", and "too heavy", etc. The whole idea of an SLR when it was released years ago was small size vs other camera systems of the day (Speed Graphic, LF and MF), and fast performance. Now in the age of seemingly endless miniaturization, we are expected to believe that DSLRs are actually not small, portable cameras, but "heavy boat anchors". When I'm out in the field, 80% of the time, my tripod is holding my gear, so there is little reason for me to carry a Pentax Q.
