Truth in advertising: Dyson D26 vs my arm

The question I asked myself yesterday in Say hello to my little friend, DC26 aka "the baby Dyson" was: is the official promotion picture for the D26 a Photoshop Disaster, or not?

I decided to re-enact the picture to find out if

• The D26 really is small enough to hold in one hand like this, and
• The D26 really is light enough to hold in one hand like this

Myth confirmed.
