It is designed with many curves to fit comfortably in the hand.

Viewed from the top, the shutter button has an easy-to-handle grip design.

Today we have a grip design for OLYMPUS’ 1991 release of an autofocus zoom compact camera.
This IZM series has been introduced before and is known for its good design.
The grip design of this camera is not flashy, but I thought it was a very cool design.
