Custom Grip Makes Canon S90 More Grabby [Digital Cameras]

The problem with elven cameras like Canon’s S90 is that they’re awkward to hold sometimes. Richard Franiec’s custom grip—CNC-machined from a block of aircraft-grade aluminum and black-anodized to match—adds just enough extra surface area to fix that.
