Are all cameras built only for right-handed people?

earthsea

I have just had an operation on my right-hand involving skin grafts and all that stuff making my hand useless for a while. This has left me with my left-hand to do all that I have to do and it has got me thinking. How do left-handed people get on when taking photos? I have never come across a left-handed camera! Guitars are simple, you just swap the strings around, but camera's? I can easly shoot holding the camera with just my right-hand. So how do you leftie's get on? I'd love to know.

Maybe blasphemy on this forum (lol!) but I do remember recently seeing a Canon crop sensor SLR that was left handed.

Only stuck in my mind because I'd never seen one before...

Anyone know of a Nikon lefty?

We discussed this a while back:

I was thinking you could take flash bracket (like this stroboframe from b&h):

Then take a remote trigger and gaffer tape it on top of the handle. Ugly, but would function in a punch.

Yes, the previous thread needs to be where we are
