To Old Listener, Hen3ry & Spectre 38!

There are many ingenious solutions to the handling shortcomings of the G6 and those shortcomings aside it is one of the finest digital cameras I've ever owned, hence I bought a second after selling the first because of those shortcomings. The bottom line is in this day and age where designers have a wealth of tools in their box, why do so many camera designers keep cocking up and why do we have to resort to D.I.Y? How would you feel if you bought a Mercedes or a Ford even and had to sit on a rubber cushion to drive it properly?

I've recently purchased a GM5 and after adding a franiec grip I've transformed it from a pigs ear to a silk purse. The first time I handled one I thought this is brilliant but it needs an after market grip! I shouldn't have needed to do it.

As regards the G7, the handling is on another planet to the G6's and Panasonic look to have got it right this time. I love mine..........
