Ergonomics... Why you pay more for a 1D...

[Razor2012]

Different hand sizes are a major point with camera bodies. My hands are very much on the large end of the scale (nearly 10-1/2 inch span)

Brian I hope you play the piano! It would be a pity for that effortless two octave reach to go to waste!

Yes I did try the piano but it is difficult when your fingers are big as well. So I did the next best thing -played rugby

Being large is an issue which you have to get used to, an asset and a handicap at the same time - particularly with cameras as they come in one size fits all. Designing must be a nightmare - especially when the trend is getting everything small.

To me the G12 is a good P&S whereas to others it is a brick. Canon (and other manufacturers) cannot please all because people are just different. When it comes to ergonomics it is a compromise when working out how far apart buttons should be

I am dreading the day when touch screens are the norm

Maybe by then we'll have holographic displays.

Where I come from, playing rugby is considered far more important than playing the piano.

Ah, piano, meaning soft.

Left yourself open there, had to take it ...

1D cameras are more high speed, low drag but not so much when you lug em around all day. You'll be high drag, low speed. ;D

I take the 1D4 and 1Ds3 around all day on a BW harness all day

Today I have an outdoor modelling session this morning where I will be using the 1Ds3 and 200/f2. Probably do some landscaping after that is the weather holds up.
