The ergonomics of modern video cameras is a topic that barely gets a mention now. Have we become so used to poor ergonomic design that we are simply numbed to it now?
These days, cameras are not particularly interesting. As someone who writes about cameras, and has used them in a professional capacity for over 25 years, this might come as a surprise for to you. It’s not that I’ve become disinterested in cameras, but that much of the focus I’ve seen placed upon them in recent years seems squarely aimed at specification porn rather than how they are used. I’m of the strong opinion that if you don’t feel like you can make something compelling to watch with pretty much any video camera from the past decade, you might be in the wrong business or hobby.
