Does (Camera) Size Matter?

Over at The Online Photographer, Kirk Tuck has a short piece up about whether the physical size of your camera matters. As a guy who has shot with everything from a Canon F1-N with the 12 AA battery motor drive through Leica M series rangefinders down to my current obsession, an Olympus E-P2, I can give you a definitive answer....
