>>4169826>It's literally not compromising itYes, it is compromising. Normal camera use is to stage shots a lot and hold the camera up to your face little, and use a lens that isn't very large, maybe an 85mm at the most, or a smaller f4 zoom, which isn't heavy enough to warrant a grip
>Buy a heavy grip that makes it less comfortable to use unless shooting in portrait orientation? Genius!The entire point of battery grips is to make cameras more comfortable to shoot in portrait orientation.
>Fashion victimI didn't know now wanting to carry around foot-wide foot-tall boat anchors was being a fashion victim. Let me guess, you're the kind of boomer that packs a 20-round pistol with a few spare magazines and thinks anyone who doesn't want to carry 5lbs of lead and steel and wear a coat to cover it midsummer is "obsessed with looks".
>The industry still leans hard towards Canikon. And most people use the kit lens, which is large enough to warrant a proper grip.That's why sony ate nikon's sales for breakfast and canon released smaller cameras with smaller grips and a set of small primes. Normal people do still want cameras, and they want them to be better than their phone, but not medium format SLR levels of huge.
>I don't know man, I haven't met many ladies attracted to onions-guzzling midgets with tiny hands but maybe it's the circles I move in.If you need to own a big camera to feel manly there's a strong chance you're under 5'10" and have a weak chin.
>muh fashion victim muh fashion victiiiimSee above, for the comparison to the boomer wearing a coat to cover a heavy firearms loadout midsummer and thinking any objections to that are based in fashion. Not convenience and comfort.
