I wonder which is better - version 1 or 2. 2 has this shape cut out for index finger, but is it necessary? Version 1 has a cut out on whole length of it.
I think it really comes down to size of hand and personal preference and even how you set your record and function buttons. I personally prefer version one. I am a petite female but do not have tiny hands. I use a wrist strap such as the VKO Lanyard Camera Wrist strap attached to a RETO QD plate on the bottom for safety and quick detachment sake. You can also use it to attach the camera to a sling strap with QD if you so desire. On DSLR's I always used an old Camdapter hand strap. I have several laying around and use one on the Z8 as it has a built in body grip which moves the shutter button forward.
