<a href="http://rover.ebay.com/rover/1/711-53200-19255-0/1?ff3=4&pub=5574981434&toolid=10001&campid=5337679777&customid=&mpre=http%3A%2F%2Fdeals.ebay.com%2Fshop%2Fdslr-camera-deals%3FrmvSB%3Dtrue" target="_blank">Ebay Deals</a> has made some rather cool GIFs showing the evolution of camera design from the biggest names in manufacturing.</p>
<p>It looks like Canon and Leica have seen the least amount of change in ergonomics when compared to everyone else, which has probably been a blessing for the two companies.</p>
<p>You can see all the animations below in the gallery.</p>

Looks to me like they completely skipped over almost all of Canon's film DSLRs.

+1
And Olympus P&S were merged together with the OM(D).

But cool animations

Right, it you put there a Nikon F camera you can't skip the Canon F-1, or the FTb/AE-1/A-1 ones, or even the T line before the T-90 - which is the model that introduced the actual DSLR design.
