I wanted a visual of the size of the new 17 vs. the GRiii as a way to think about the 17 and how I might carry/use it if I had one. I couldn’t find such a visual so I decided to do one myself…

The Pentax 17 looks like a decent camera, albeit to my eye the styling seems a little clunky and I don't understand the need for all those controls and mode settings. The choice of half-frame 35 format is interesting, memories of a lot of fine photos made with Olympus Pen EE cameras comes to mind.
However, this is arguably my all-time favorite compact 35mm camera. It's full-frame 24x36 mm format...
Minox 35GT-E :: https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/53837228803_b43a592cb9_b.jpg
I bought it new in 1998, cost about $400 IIRC. The lens is excellent quality, the negatives are terrific. The only thing it lacks, for me, is a full manual exposure setting capability, but the aperture priority auto plus manual ISO setting net all the adjustability I could want. With the lens door folded, it is smooth and compact, slips nicely even into a jeans pocket. The makrolon plastic construction is very tough and difficult to scratch.
A few photos of it and with it:

I wish I could find as elegant, small, and simple a digital camera as the Minox 35GT-E.

Yep, great little camera. Remember a test in a British photo magazine
saying "The photos are so sharp you'll want to cry." :-)
I have the 35GT version. Inherited from my father who received it from
his colleagues on the occasion of his retirement, together with the
matching flash unit. Had to have it repaired twice, over the years. I
understand they're prone to shutter probs. Gave up on it when it broke
yet again. Now, it has a place of honour on my camera ancestors' shrine.
But, boy, did it take great photos. Here's one of mine:

Very nice!
The 35GT-E and 35GT-X versions improved radically on robustness and reliability. Mine has never needed anything but an occasional fresh battery. The -E gave you manual ISO settings, the -X read the ISO from the film canister. That manual control of ISO nets full control of exposure so that's what I bought. Never regretted for one instant... :D
