Jamie emailed me that he adapted the grip of his Sony a200 DLSR to make it easier and more comfortable to hold.
He explains: “You see, camera manufacturers think that cheap cameras should only be bought by people with small hands and the rest of us can just upgrade to their pro range of cameras. Or, you could sugru-ify your entry-level camera! I decided to improve the finger grip (particularly around the little finger) and fill out the palm rest to provide a bit more stability — I’m even more concerned about the ergonomics since my wrist is only out of a cast since last week.”
You can see lots more pics and the extra hacks he did with the bit left over on his blog.
I think it fair to say a fair few of us would chirp up… SURE it’s a jolly great hack but WHY OH WHY did you use orange and green?!?
“Well, I could have used black but there’s no point in hacking something unless everyone notices it. I’m sure it’ll make a good ice-breaker at a photo walk (and it also makes it damn obvious which camera is mine!).”

Jonathan emailed me this other lovely camera hack: “This is one of my father’s camera’s. He does nature photography all over the place. In some of those places, it’s raining or snowing all the time. Though the camera is weather proof, the shutter cable isn’t. It had the wire ripped out from over-use. Sugru saved the day!”
