>>4169806those designs were built off 35mm SLRs that were marketed to photojournalists that used a zoom lens and large speedlight at almost all times, while smaller models were marketed to everyone else, and fashion/portraiture photographers were still using contax, leica, etc 35mm that was even smaller and putting anything larger than that (deifnitely NOT 35mm) on a tripod
now i want you to imagine you as a hobbyist insisting that those smaller models are bad because you put the heaviest possible accessories on one and found yourself wanting a deeper grip. i want you to imagine that you just picked up a leica, and said "this is a terrible camera because it isn't comfortable after i put a 600mm lens and a giant flash on it". so someone says "buy a grip extension if you want to be that retarded"
and you say "omg you want to put the camera in your ass"
