Well Sigma's gone past were heavily criticized for being useless, itty-bitty buffers, atrocious high ISO ....I think TCS described ISO 400 as having the quality of newsprint. Along comes the much larger, more purposeful looking quattro, looking like the equivalent of an AR15 for the camera world .......But, it is once again another flop, with horrendously poor performance. A high tech digital camera should look like a piece of modern machinery, and not like a fashion accessory .......IMO. It should look like something from Star Wars.

Dude, face facts the Marc Newson design was disgusting.
You are calling something totally subjective a fact. That makes you an idiot in my book.
Dude, I'd buy a K-01 for the right price. In fact I nearly bought one ........but its an ugly camera that I have been interested to buy. I have a little Fujifilm camera, its a plastic little box with zero style. They can wrap those little Fuji's in black, White, Blue, Tan and Red leather and they still look stupid ...... IMO ......but I own one.
To say that a camera is ugly does not make a person an idiot, and nor is it subjective. If attractiveness is subjective, then why do Master Chefs heavily pursue the aesthetic when they present food on a plate. Aesthetics is not a subjective matter, it is an innate component of the human psyche.
Calling me an idiot is not allowed on this forum, no personal attacks are allowed.
Originally posted by mecrox Ah, so they thought olde gold is still gold and the rest is history. In that case the answer is clear. No need for Marc Newson and Jony Ive to design a new mirrorless generation. Call for Fred Flintstone and Barney Rubble I suspect that the soooo smooth, rather over-designed work of Newson and Ive puts off as many people as it attracts so a more "rugged" take by Flinstone & Rubble Designers Inc. might well appeal anyway.
Marc Newson underdesigned the camera ......he is a minimalist in terms of his design. Most people would prefer MORE buttons and dials for functionality purposes. Given, there is such a thing as too many buttons and dials.
My Fuji one could say, could have been the product of Fred Flintstone or Barney Rubble.........if they got their hands on a plastic injection moulding machine (very tacky and rough faux leather in a plastic finish).
