To go off on a totally useless course, am I the only one who thinks all
the current DSLRs are UGLY? Especially the larger cameras such as the
1D series. Do these cameras HAVE to look the way they do? To my eye,
the Hasselblad H series cameras are a beautiful design, or at least a
step in the right direction. I know they are medium format based which
dictates their shape to an extent, but still, it seems to me Canon
could do a ground up redesign of the 1D cameras to something totally
modern, sleek, and ergonomic. After all, we base so many purchases
based on LOOKS... cars, homes, clothes.. wives and husbands :-) Can
you imagine how Canon could absolutely deal a death blow to other
manufacturers if they came out with a TOTALLY NEW camera design, even
possibly with a carbon fiber outer casing, or perhaps a dark titanium
colored body with burgundy leather accents, or maybe some elegant
brushed silver lenses, or, .... or .... just think of the
possibilities! WHY do we have to always have these black brick eyesores
put in front of us? Sure, the final photo is what REALLY counts, but
come on, ya know it would also be great to have a KILLER LOOKING piece
of equipment with which to take those photos!
Just rambling thoughts on a rainy day. :-)
