Ray,

I have a 35SP and quite enjoy it. Have also handled a 35RC (same size as
the RD) and there is quite a difference in the two size wise. I find the
35RC closer to the 'compact' type than the SP. That said the images I have
produced with the SP have been great. Manual operation (if you use the
built in meter) is a little awkward as the meter is not coupled and
everything is done in EVs. The RC has no meter for manual use from what I saw.

Hope this helps.
