Sony bashing aside, I think they put a lot of effort on the aesthetics of their products.

Their SLRs have masculine and powerful lines but there's some grace to it.

Their lenses are just extremely sexy. Much nicer than the lenses Nikon or Canon have been using for the last 20 years.

This is their 50mm 1.4.

The plastic used is so nice and smooth. The fonts on the barrel are clean and the whole thing just looks so high class.

This is the 70-200 2.8.

HOLY FUCK it's fucking sexy. Look at the combination of colors. The zoom and focus rings are nice. It's much cleaner and sexier than the Nikon and Canon counterparts.

Style over substance. That's been the Sony motto for a very long time.

And the A700.

It's like the Hummer of SLRs. It just looks so damn imposing but modern at the same time.

Their SLRs' performances are laughable but it's UNDENIABLE that it just looks plain fucking HOT.

I haven't paid much attention to the aesthetics of Sony's cameras... mainly it's not what i care about.

Besides i think a nice yellow strap with Nikon on it or a nice red and black number with white Canon on it will always be more pleasing to the eye than a Sony.

It's like a Spyker, that mahfuckah tries too hard to look better than the Aston Martins and Ferraris.

1. Hummers are fucking ugly. So is that camera.
2. Part of the reason people pay hueg amounts of money for Leica equipment is because they *don't* look imposing and *don't* look modern. Easier to put people at ease when you're sitting and talking with them, less "professional" than a huge modern black plastic box with a white lens. They're small and look like the simple, 50-year-old design they are, not the top-of-the-line thing they are.
3. Gaudy, overwrought baroque aesthetics suck.
4. >Style over substance. That's been the Sony motto for a very long time. QFT. And their style sucks.

WTF?

Anyway, notice how you're the only one who's even liking Sony's design? I think that's the same all over the world. At my part of the world here, we're made up by a bunch of photographers who uses either Canons or Nikons or lulSony. There's only two Sony users, a third one just upgraded from an alpha100 to a D300.

They have no intention of even getting a better or faster lens, like a 70-200 2.8 or even a 50 1.4, but then they constantly complain their gear is not up to snuff during low light outings.

For other things, I love simple clean lines, but in my photogear, I'd like em vulgar looking.

And the other part is you're a huge faggot when you get a Leica.

Hey, he's not alone, I also like Sony's lens design. I also like Leica's and Voigtlaender's. That doesn't mean I buy them :D

Nikon's upper end lenses look great though. The 14-24 f/2.8 and the 24-70 f/2.8 spring to mind, plus the D300 and D3 have very organic lines, but that's probably a by-effect of having Giorgetto Giugiaro design your bodies for a while.
