Why do all cameras have similar control layouts now?

Also I think that A300 having live view while the bigger and more expensive A700 lacks it is a rather confusing marketing decision.

They all headed to that layout quite quickly. It's not the first time this has happened over the ages.

Live view sucks, so why would a pro-level camera what a bad feature? Sony stated around the A700 launch that live view wasnt good enough to put on higher level cameras.

Also who wants live view? Its not an SLR that way either :P

Sony may say whatever they want to cover their asses, but *every* professional camera has live view now.

1. Time has snown that that layout works well.
2. Having controls in familiar places is a necessity across a camera line, and if you want to try to steal customers away from another system, it's a good idea to make your camera such that people are immediately comfortable with it as soon as they pick it up.

Only up and down angles? No flipping out or rotating? Weak sauce.

It works for shooting over a crowd or as a substitute for a waist-level finder, so it's still much more useful than a fixed screen. Just ask anyone who owned an E-330.

Live view is useful for astrophotography and photomicroscopy. There are other uses for it too. It's a handy thing to have. For some, like the two examples, it is a great time saver.

The battery grip looks weird in that photo.

Yeah not exactly awesome, but how many times do you take photos of something with the camera pointing sideways? I do a lot more over/under than that so its def. more useful than fixed.

Its a CMOS (same as the A200 huh) since CCD haet live view apparently.

Well, he's not entirely impartial to Canon.

He just thinks Nikon is the only one with a 18-200 VR.

Because people's fingers only fit around something in one way.

The control layouts are the way they are because of the shape of human sausage fingers.
