Why did they wait until this camera is almost discontinued to bring it out? I don’t like it either.
Verry disappointing, available only in cherry wood.. no bubinga or cocobola wood.. Banality…
I can’t find a word stronger than “silly”
Lawsuit in 3… 2… 1…
Was the original price of this handle $1049, and this is a price drop? 🙂
Just shows the lengths some people will go to in an attempt to make an uninspiring, drab, plain black box look a tad better ….shame it just shows up how bad the black box is and actually manages to make it look worse!
This proves it is stupid at any price.
Ugly on the stellar and still ugly now.
Great, i can sell it for 10000$ later
And where can I find those cheap shiny plastic buttons with the H-symbol on them?
April Fools, oh wait…
I don’t usually use the word “stupid”, but in this case…
that looks exceptionally stupid.
ugly and stupid
And for another $50, Fotodiox will sell you a Hasselblad name plate to go over the Sony name.
It needs to be marketed with a more exotic flair…I dunno, like:
“Hand crafted in the USA with actual timberwood from the Ewok village”.
I dunno. Imagine how much better you pictures will be.
That camera’s got wood.
I wish they had a grip like this I could glue on my assss. This way I wouldn’t have to even display effort standing up. I could just give myself a hand.
Eww
Well, is a better grip on a great camera, don’t see the problem here with this. Stupid is buy the Stellar at $1000, that’s
stupid, not this!!!
Sweet just picked up 3
Don’t show this to all the sheep on Huff’s site who paid $900 for basically the same thing, oh sorry theirs came with a real wooden box also.
Just one word. Fugly!
lol nice one
Not a good product idea. Looks like a pile of dog crap was wiped along the side of the camera.
Hasselblad isn’t exactly the best company to copy ideas from these days.
I don’t own this cam but if I have I say why not …
It might be practical but it does look like it doesnt fit together.. maybe there should have been som effort to make it look like it belonged on the camera.
IMO, that ugly grip should not cost more than US$5
I knew that SAR readers were going to DESTROY this!!! Its not bad, it just would have looked better in a black finish or carbon fiber..idk :-/
Somehow it manages to look even more ugly and out of place on the Sony
OMG, will that Sonyblad madness follow us forever? I can’t bear it anymore.
When it comes to beautiful design, Hasselblad’s pocket and digital cameras are the opposite of Apple’s gorgeous design. Everything I’d say positive about Apple, I’d say Hasselblad is the opposite. It’s like the Hasselblad designers have no clue. I must say, I think some of Leica’s new designs are really nice … but Hasselblad have no clue.
Ugly and stupid!
I think the RX100 should come with the rubber Sony grip included. It’s great, and looks cool.
