hmm, I guess average hands? It's definitely more brick like and less contoured than many newer cameras. Having all of the major controls (aperture, shutter, ISO) easily accessible on the outside of the camera rocks though. I didn't really get to play with it in the store the Glazers rep wouldn't give me the time of day (at the Leica or Hasselblad side of the store someone will practically hump your leg)
If you are worried about the camera being waterproof you can purchase a housings for the canon P+S for between $100-$150 depending on the model
