Big size is no longer mark of being PRO. That way many people are waiting for advanced cameras, but smaller. I´d buy 70D if it was like a6000.

Agree, but I often see the opposite e.g. with wedding photographers who think they need a bigger camera than the person who hires them

I can understand that some people want a big brick because they have big hands, because their camera has to take lots of abuse, or because they want to intimidate their subjects But I'm not like that, small is beautiful!

In the seventies the Olympus OM system was a breath of fresh air and I would love to have something similar in digital form (FF sensor, very small and light, with top quality big and bright viewfinder, only the essential controls and high quality compact lenses). I don't doubt it is possible but just like with cars, it almost seems like DSLRs have to gain weight and tons of useless features with every generation. The SL1 and 6D were a step in the right direction but a bit too much 'dumbed-down' for my taste (dumbed down in things like AF capabilities or lack of a tilt screen). Sony A7 is also a step in the right direction, but they fail to deliver with lenses and the EVF isn't yet a full alternative to OVF.
