The problem with this camera is, that as long, as I looked at it, there is no deeper meaning, no logic in it's shapes.
It is … it is nothing - it makes no sense.
It's forms have no reasoning, they are neither functional (far from it), nor good look, or resembling a known shape.
What surprises me the most, is that at some point somebody must have made the decision for this project and has given the go for making tools, fixtures, …
Somebody dumped money into this thing?

No way such a simple concept as a camera can be made to look ugly.
I clicked on the link and... jeez, that is hideous.
Good job Canon.

I agree. I've seen many strange cameras, but none ugly as such. This one however hit the mark. Maybe because it doesn't resemble a camera at all.

That's exactly what I thought.
If we make a triangle from Beautiful, Practical, and Ergonomic, this camera would be about one mile (in any direction) *outside* of the triangle. |

Canon also did another concept model. Less ugly but still...

Some of you may have seen my X100 shots taken at Manchesters Museum of Science & Industry this week. Well, look what else was there in a display case in the 'Collected Cameras' exhibit right opposite the other camera shown.

I hope that the designer of that abomination gets savaged by his own guide dog!

Now there's a politically correct way of saying that something's hideous..
I can almost imagine it:
- No, you're not ugly at all, you're just a huge departure from the norm..  |

Ugly... but least likely to be stolen as well!

Sony NEX should be in this contest, too - big lens with small body attached looks rather awful.
For me, this is the ugliest camera of this millennium

It's APS I think so really more like a 32mm equivalent IIRC.
