    I think it looks quite cool actually. But I'd have to agree with Daz. It looks like they made the buttons more convenient, but holding it level and steady seem to be the first obvious issue. It also doesn't look very compatible with current day tripods. Portrait photography could be a nightmare too!

    I'd thoroughly enjoy been seen using it though solely for the wierd factor.

    Artsy, but impractical.

    More the future of the Bridge camera than DSLR as there's no way you could hold that and zoom/focus at the same time, but honestly, I could see using one of those.

    It looks pretty... out there. Justthought I'd stick it up for giggles...

    The "Thigh Master" (tm) finally gets a camera attachment.

    I suppose it all depends in whether you can still take those shots holding the camera over your head with one hand.current cameras have one handle allowing you to use your other hand to steady the camera this camera has 2 handles both of them have buttons and it still looks really bulky.

    Actually, reading up a bit more on this there's 2 things it's better at than the standard DSLR. 1 handed shooting, and allowing for left handedness (not a very major advantage I know!). Another link here with more photos comments etc:

    A standard DSLR's shape allows you to hold the camera steady.
    How you position your arms and elbows ensures sharper shots.

    Can anyone hold their elbows out, with their hands near the noses and stop hand shake?

    I can't.

    That's exactly what I thought, it turns out those handles rotate and overlap so they're as 1, but access to buttons will be compromised at a certain point. It's not just gadget fatigue gets people about this, when the gear you want isn't forthcoming and you see time has been spent on what looks like a futile gimmick - it wrankles...

    That occurred to me too. If somebody tried to make off with your kit, you could throw the camera after them.

    Well said!

    And there is the knock on effect that prices for the stuff you want are been driven up by the cost of R&D for these kinds of gimmicks. :rolleyes:
