I suspect is may be a few things. Yes, the current position of the on/off switch is horrible. Second, this may be a sign of an even bigger screen on the back. It\'ll be interesting to see how Canon treats the button layout on the back. It\'s hilarious when they intentionally screw with the buyer like in the case of the 5D to the 5D2. They intentionally change the positioning which is a little boost to say replace all your cameras with the new ones. The best was putting the trash button where the old play button was.

You must be joking. With a zoom mounted, the front of the camera hangs downwards when the camera is carried over the shoulder or around the neck, and that bloody power switch on the 5D1/2 bumps against your body and switches itself off 50 times a day. Canon will have changed that switch position because so many people complain.
