My take on new A330: bit like Nikon design?

[XkaOnslaught]

A500 grip still using the good old A200/300/350 designs. very good to hold.

and the A230/330/380's grip is actually very egronomic. you guys are just holding it the wrong way.

From the title I thought you are comparing Airbus with Nikon. ;p

HAHA. airbus must compare with boeing.

Except the new On/Off button, i don't see how the new 5 series looks Nikon-ish. It looks less Leica R9-ish than the 230/330/380. IMHO it still retains lots of Minolta DNA.

Actually, you are right. hehe. Size is good, but I don't quite like the on/off button and the dial position of the 230/330/380/500s. The old 200/300/700 dial positions are nicer.

The 550 and 500 look like extremely promising cams. Too bad I bought my 300 earlier this year. I'm not going to part with it too soon XD
