for me out on the street, there is no time to fiddle - literally it's see a shot, point the camera, press the button (preferably for a burst) - in the length of time it takes you to read those words - if the camera doesn't work that well i find the shot is lost .... or soft :-(
for me all those years ago when all the engineers/techos/designers/scientists/and urm photographers(?) thought seriously about the size/shape/quality/useability of the new digital camera system and came up with the aps-c size …. they were spot on ..... not too heavy, not too light, not too big, not too small, not too narrow dof, not too wide, super lenses, fast to use .... and with a real viewfinder - bliss .... although .... i'd like a leica .... and also would like one of those tiny QT's :-) .... for show
.... oh, nex etc? = read Bc's comments - sorry, i'm sure they are wonderful thingies, but i look at other photographers screens out and about and i can't see what they're shooting .... or if they're in focus .... yet
- also i find (down here) that no matter if you point a very large or a very small camera at some stranger, if they don't like it, size doesn't matter
...... but i wouldn't want to be discouraging people from trying something smaller now

after trying the Nex, I think you have a point here. I may have to get the 600D as a small carry around cam. I still have some hope left for the Panasonic Gx-1, the NEX7 and the upcomming Fuji LX, though.
