Compactness is less important than it was 30+ years ago, because of the

half a dozen.

What's the point of claiming smaller body and  lens size when such things are 
no longer that  important?

I backpack. I'm no longer 25 years old. My lungs burn when I toss 5+ pounds  
of 20D and 2 lenses on the top of the pack.
 
Give me a lightweight DSLR with IS and good lenses (90 degree FOV, Macro),  
and I'll buy it.
 
The Pentax is nice.... would like to handle the E-400, but...
