Come to think of it, that argument seems to work. I have very small hands
even for a woman, plus I have arthritis, and when I was shopping for a new
camera, the ZX-5n seemed to fit my hands perfectly and was light-weight --
much less tiring to hold on to. I also liked the simpler interface because
I'm basically a no-nonsense person. However, I did add the AA battery pack,
and it improved the handling immensely. I don't know that I would say it was
designed specifically for women, but I'd bet they definitely had women in
mind.

Could it be argued that the MZ-5 was originally designed with women in mind?
Not to say anything bad about women, but most women I know don't like
technical things. So the simple to use interface of the MZ-5 and its small
size should definitely appeal to women.
The Canon EOS-1V was designed to look like a muscular man (yes its true!).
That's probably why I find it offensively ugly. Now if someone would design
a camera that looked like Claudia Schiffer......
