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... | | | | | Sponsored Links | Premium Members do not see Google advertisements. SIGN UP today and help support our community.

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. | | | | | Thread Tools | | | | Display Modes | Linear Mode |
