I agree with that Eric, I don't like having a finger under the camera, I want it on the grip. Make the camera smaller and I will be looking to add a grip. A pointless exercise in my opinion. It has to be said that DX should indeed allow smaller lenses for the same field of view but Nikon never made a 70-200 f2.8 DX and the 17-55 f2.8 DX is not much smaller, 1cm shorter and 170g lighter, than the 24-70 f2.8. OK 170g is worth having but the absence of a DX equivalent to the 14-24 f2.8 and the aforementioned 70-200, rather negates the benefits. Also the D2X is little, if any, smaller than the D4 and the D500, with grip, is pretty much the same size.

Sorry but if I have to carry FX lenses to get the aperture I want and the camera body is no smaller I might just as well have an FX sensor.
