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. 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..... ;-) Al Only for ergonomics. Performance is performance and doesn't vary from person to person if they follow the same rules. -Rich But Rich absolute performance is not the complete equation and when you finally buy a D-SLR you will realise that. |

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. -Rich ...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. I think they are uncomfortable for people with "standard" hands, seriously what were Canon thinking?. |

In article , says... wrote in message oups.com... 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. Just think how happy you would be with a decent sized hand grip. Good grief. I also enjoy the 350D and have similar personal dimensions (maybe because I spent all last year using a Sony V1 P@S - now _that_ was small). If size or weight is a handling problem for some - just superglue it to a brick. Seems to me the human being, adaptable as it is, can handle a few mms and gs difference here and there. Once it has mastered the location of features and practiced sufficiently, the slight differences disappear as attention is directed to other aspects of tasks at hand. They disappear like the size of the numbers on your speedometer, the color of the bonnet in front of the windscreen, your wedding anniversary date, your brother-in-law's wife's mother's preference in cocktails ... You may not believe there is no significant difference when you start, or compare directly, but when those features are not the center of attention their scale in the greater universe of things that matter diminishes dramatically. Arriving at the place where they pale may be more tedious for some (people and features), but if you can trust your capabilities --and you should be able to-- you'll get there. Unless, of course, there are some among the other human multi-capacities inhibiting development. Some kind of fear or fixation. Some kind of escsape into activity. Something. |

I buy gloves in 'large' size and used Olympus OM SLRs for over twenty years.The 350D is almost identical in height so to me it doesn't feel small. It's all down to what you're used to.

I watched a guy with large hands trying to use it in a store and he complained. But women should like it. Perhaps Canon sees an untapped market? -Rich "Bittorrents are REFUNDS for all the BAD movie products Hollywood never gave us refunds for in the past" |
