.Switch around the shutter is the obvious place. Even the little GM5 has it there. It\'s like the ignition key on cars. It\'s easier if they all follow the same standard (and Saab went bankrupt).

Actually GM went bankrupt and they owned Saab. They dumped Saab and Hummer to save themselves
Now we are really off topic


Saab soldiered on for a while after the GM misery, and actually still exists in some form under the name NEVS. GM sold it to Spyker in 2010 who in turn wanted to sell it to a Chinese investor, something that was stopped by GM. Production of \"ordinary\" Saab cars was stopped in 2014 and most assets were sold off. I believe they are looking into electric cars at the moment. They are based in Tianjin in China and have Chinese owners, but do not use the Saab trade mark enymore.

I used to drive Citroën in my younger days btw., and had more than ten of them altogether, with anything except the ignition key in the wrong place

And yes, we are off topic, but it\'s an interesting analogy. After image quality, whatever that is, ergonomics is the hottest discussed topic when it comes to camera bodies, and there seems to be two distinct camps: those who say it doesn\'t matter at all and those who say it matters a lot. Standardisation is of course an integrated part of that question, and drawing parallels to other industries is both natural and constructive.
