[MrFotoFool]

I am sure many of us are familiar with the joke camera news site New Camera News. You will love their take on this announcement.

It's called the "Linda", for goodness sake. I'd be so embarrassed to tell my father that I was "honoring" my mom by making a crappy bag and giving it her name. This is nothing but a cash grab. How could Stella think this is a good idea??

Hi Folks.
Wow,first thing that went through my mind was HOW MUCH?
EOS 100D White £479 Park Cameras, £599 Canon recommended price. £601 to £721 for a bag????

I figure stella will bank around 500 pounds per bag, so a quick - but very shamefully gotten - half-a million for her.

I think it was the "Ka-ching" sound that sealed the deal ;D

Perhaps if Canon collaborated with more designers, we'd get more functional gear.

Thinking back of the T90 when Luigi Colani was re-interpreting camera design and seeing that this is still the major design approach of todays EOS Cameras... I think you're right.

Ah, the father of modern SLR ergonomics

some of his other stuff is pretty crazy though. Even some of the cameras were pretty bonkers looking, not to mention the Darth Vader trucks...

Still, '80s design at its finest <grin>

Am I alone in thinking it looks ok?

Off with his/her HEAD!

Re: Almost too precious for words

Was Linda McCartney / is Stella McCartney a photographer, or is Stella just trading on her dead mother's name?
