Panasonic FZ30 grip is horrible

The grip front is too deep to grip properly, it doesn't
correspond to the way fingers are articulated and the
thumb rest is too shallow and too small to work very well.
No way would someone want to hold it by this method for
any length of time. I thought at first the deep front gripping
area would make sense, but it doesn't. They need to go back
to the older shallower front grips.

Hi.

There really is no way anyone should ever buy a camera, without having
handled it first.

The handling and feel is probably the most important feature. All the
others are only of academic interest if the Camera is uncomfortable to use.
It simply won't get used as much as it should.

What feels right to you can feel very wrong to someone else, and vice versa.
Because of this, I never understand why people ask "What is the best
Camera?". There really is no answer.
