Samsung's tilted lens

In a subtle but clever design move, Samsung tilted the lens on the Samsung HMX-R10. This has two benefits: it alleviates the wrist cramp you get because you're forced to cock your wrist back while viewing the LCD, and it allows you to pull your arms in close to your body, for a more steady hold, while shooting.
