Originally posted by reh321 I learned fifty years ago to hold a camera with two hands for reasons of stability, so I've never understood, for example, those who want an enormous grip on a K-mount camera so they can use a longish lens on it - I hold the camera body with my right hand and the lens with my left hand, just as I always have, and I want them to make the camera body as small as they can. Unless I am using an adapted long lens on my K-7, in which case I hold the lens with my left hand and stabilize with my right hand, I hold my Q-7 with my right hand and use a slight touch with my left hand to stabilize. Those of you who want to hold it one-handed may explain the lack of support for an EVF; I can't imagine buying a new one without an EVF.
In general I operate a camera just as use describe, especially a full-sized DSLR. But the Q weighs nothing -- I don't go around firing it one-handed much, but I can HOLD it one-handed (while still aiming at something, and I do the same with the bigger bodies too), and when the need arises where I can't use two hands (odd angle, reaching over the top of something, sticking it under or inside of something using AF and hoping for the best, etc), the Q is light enough that I can take a stable shot one-handed, so it is ok. Just a little helper. What I don't like is when you can't get a decent grip on the thing without two hands at all times.
And then sometimes I put it on a small folding tripod (like the Ultrapod) and I can hold that as a handle, or I put it on the end of a fully extended monopod and hold it way up in the air or out over something it wouldn't be safe to take my body, I trigger with remote or timer, whatever works to get the shot...
