Seriously, I have HUGE hands, and an un-gripped 30D looks like a toy in my hand, but it doesn't look close to that small lol...

that picture isn't right

I'm a big guy, and I had a D40 and that's too small.

I've only held the D40x, but it's roughly the same size as my Rebel XTi, with both of them being small. Maybe the photog used a wide-angle lens and it's causing undue distortion of the hand.

Either that, or Paul Bunyan shoots Nikon.

It's an optical illusion, or as some people say, a visual oddity.

The Nikon D40 looks just like that in my hand, and is 2/3 the size of my Fuji S6000fd.
