Photo Forum / Digital Photography / DSLR Cameras / August 2005Brit 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. -Rich "Bittorrents are REFUNDS for all the BAD movie products Hollywood never gave us refunds for in the past" > 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.

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. >>>> Amateur Photographer rated them according to various >>>> things, but what it came down to was image quality [quoted text clipped - 15 lines] > 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?. >I think they are uncomfortable for people with "standard" hands, seriously >what were Canon thinking?. 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 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. Mike >>> Size of the camera in this case would be a qualitative judgement, >>> not quantitative.

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. >>> 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.

Performance is meaningless if the camera feels uncomfortable or awkward to use. The best camera in the world won't give you that perfect shot if you're struggling to handle 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.
