@Mark Free: for what it is and the category it's in, it's a thing a beauty. This isn't your Kodak 10mp party point-and-shoot... models don't care if your camera comes in red and slips into your pocket.
@Prokanda Please, no need to explain what the difference between soapboxes (even though I never owned one) and professional cameras is. Sure it doesn't matter how uncomfortable the camera is when you shoot in a studio using a tripod and a remote -- it can be shaped as a dildo or a teapot (like this Leica) and you wouldn't care. But when you are out in a field, you want it to be comfortable and have a decent looks. Especially in this kind of category where you pay so much more money.
It's just sad that people find things beautiful as long as they are made by designers (no matter how bad those designers are), by famous companies and are expensive.

Why all the expensive cameras look so ugly these days?
@Mark Free
We must be looking at different cameras.

Or maybe, just maybe, someone doesn't have a sense of beauty.

@Mark Free
And what is it exactly about the shape of this camera that makes it look uncomfortable to you?
Something tells me you're shaped like a dildo.
