I own a
Samsung NX300 Camera, I love that it has a pocket-able form factor without a lens attached, and that it is like a DSLR in that you can attach a wide variety of different lenses depending on what sort of image is being captured. However, I do not like that there is no optical view finder, and that the user must rely on the digital view finder, which is hard to view outside because of glare.
For this model, I used blend surfaces for the thumb rest and the over-sized ergonomic grip. I built the body using curves and extrusions. I also used rebuild surfaces, and control points to manipulate the curvature and shape. I spent a few hours alone just filleting the thumb wheel, the ISO wheel, the focus ring, and the zoom ring.
For materials I used a leather pattern moldtech plastic for the outer trim, brushed aluminum for the body, rough black plastic for the back of the frame, lens, and on/off switch. I used a silver plastic for the thumb wheel, the record button, and the capture button. For the rear buttons I used a darker silver plastic, and rubber for the viewfinder cushion, and focus/zoom rings.

i will need to talk with you about how you used blended surfaces in greater detail. Your illustrations don't seem to support the notion.
