Interesting and a little bizarre. It's hard to imagine this would ever catch on as left-handed photographers are probably well accustomed to the conventional camera layout. I've rarely seen a lefty use a computer mouse on the left side for the same reason.

I've fixed their press release:

Originally posted by Canon U.S.A.:
Canon U.S.A., Inc., a leader in digital imaging, today introduced a revolutionary new camera that finally addresses the needs of left-handed photographers worldwide John, the Revelstoke, BC resident who saw triggering the shutter release with his right index finger as a barrier to ever picking up a camera: the Canon EOS 7D L Digital SLR camera.

A bit more wordy, but more accurate as well.

Mike, Cory and I aren't just "skeptical", we're 100% positive it's an April Fool's joke press release... Presumably that's what YOUR wink means, too? :-)

Good reason to be skeptical as it's one of several camera-related pranks, but it didn't get any play yesterday. :-(

Just flip your camera over. :)

Lefties should be good at self portrait close ups.
