QUOTE(bunta @ Apr 15 2006, 02:25 AM) 1) I received 3 PMs asking me to forward the contact of the D70 body seller, in the event my friend's not buying. None enquired about 350D. 2) The 350D's grip is too small. Without the battery grip, it's uncomfortable holding the camera for long hours (cos the small finger would be in an awkward position - the bottom). 1) I'm finding it very weird that so many people are into Nikon (at least in Malaysia). Is there really something so wrong about Canon/ other brands that I'm not aware of?   2) I don't have that problem. Maybe its the way you hold it? Anyway err who's asking you to hold it for hours? The neck strap/ bag are there for a reason. This post has been edited by elb: Apr 15 2006, 05:37 PM |

QUOTE(scorgio @ Apr 15 2006, 03:13 PM) 1) there's nothing wrong with Canon or Nikon. it's just that the design of the 350D doesn't suit user with big hand/long fingers. 2) have you been in a photoshoot session b4? the strap, yes may be on the neck. but the hand never leaves the camera grip until you finish shooting. and obviously gripping a camera with 5 fingers is better than 4. My comment about something being wrong with Canon was just a sacarstic remark, if you had noticed the smiley at the end. It was made more in jest with respect to the D50 vs D70s thread, where it seemed that EVERYONE wanted Nikon. Well my hand isn't exactly that small either. Yes I have walked around gripping my 350D for a couple of hours straight; with all 5 fingers on it as well. My last finger doesn't dangle midair nor lodge itself underneath the body.

Alright I apologize for the little oversight re: the sacarstic remark
I do not use a battery grip; I fire my shutter with my second finger. The width of my palm (at the widest point) is over 10cm.
