Default Brit mag rates E-1 and 1DsMk 2 as best cameras

Amateur Photographer rated them according to various
things, but what it came down to was image quality
with the 1DsMk2 and E-1 coming closest to good film
compared to the other 10 DSLRs on test. Egonomics, etc,
also came into play.

....and British magazine Practical Photography Film & Digital Sept 2005 rated
Canon 20D Testers choice, Nikon D50 best buy.
350D, 20D & 1DSMkII got 5 stars whilst E-300, *ist DL & SD10 got 3 (lowest)

Which is really strange because if I was rating them I would drop the 350D
off alltogether because I think the ergonomics suck big time, but there you
go.

They did comment in the 'Cons' column :- " Small size can prove
uncomfortable for users with large hands ".
Perhaps thats why it didn't get Best Buy.

Size of the camera in this case would be a qualitative judgement, not
quantitative. Quality of the pics don't suffer, its just personal
preference...

/like my 350D and its size, and I'm 6'1, 200lbs.

This only goes to prove that the only accurate review is the one done
by the intended buyer/user. But then we already knew that..... ;-)

Only for ergonomics. Performance is performance and doesn't
vary from person to person if they follow the same rules.

The 350D works great for my girlfriend. She loves it. I can barely take a
photo with it because my hands are too big. More and more I am convinced
the 350D is the 20D for women - which is /not/ a bad thing.

Hey, what are you saying, the 350D is a chick camera?

Just think how happy you would be with a decent sized hand grip.
