don't listen to the other retards who responded to you. it's in that soft case to cover the entire camera with a soft case. it may seem silly, but a hard edge can get snagged, and a snag during a spacewalk can be fatal - nasa doesn't like to take risks.
you can also notice that the soft case is entirely held to the camera with just Velcro, and there is one designated attachment point for the camera to link to the astronaut's gear.
>it just makes it harder to use
this is true, but likely you wouldn't be able to play with camera settings through the suit anyway. I would wager that the camera is configured for proper exposure and etc before it is even put into a soft case. remember that without an atmosphere, only certain specific angles are even possible to capture without extreme overexposure, so I can't imagine there is really any leeway for a space-walker to get creative with their subject or exposure.';

it's not a normal camera. nasa wouldn't just take a random earth camera up to space. that camera is specifically built with a hard, dense metal body which blocks radiation. the soft cover is unrelated.';

it pretty much is a regular camera with a radiation shield on top

It's most likely to insulate it against extremes of hot and cold. Camera sensors don't work very well if he overheat. They may also put in some shielding for radiation because radiation tracks along CCD images are very hard to fix';

Doubtful. When NASA partnered with Hasselblad to make cameras for the space program, they went all in to make sure the images were as good as possible. They use special plates with hash marks precisely measured so they could do accurate photometric work on the photographs, they built a special 500 El with a conductive plate inside so that static wouldn't build up in the camera as the film advances and generates a static charge, the lenses were all hand kicked out of the line and adjusted to produce the best results possible for each of them. All in NASA paid them somewhere over a million and a half dollars for about four dozen cameras, some 150 lenses, and Extras like 70 mm backs. I actually own one lens from the special group plus a spare EL body that they sold at auction in 1997.';

PS. In the Ron Howard film Apollo 13, you can see them throwing cameras Down the Hatch to put into the Command Module for reentry when the trying to balance off the weight difference from the lack of moon rocks. Ron was lucky enough to partner with somebody who knew where he could get these cameras from private collectors myself included. I didn't get to instruct the actors on how to use these cameras, the other person did who had more in it. Unfortunately when they were doing filming on board the vomit Comet for these scenes, they tossed the lens across the Gap too quickly in the mock-up, and the guy missed it and hit the wall and damaged it. One lens that NASA wanted, but they didn't get in time was the 105 F 4.3 UV Sonnar. By the time that was available, they'd already gotten a workaround lens from another company and adapted it.';

Sorry but if you aren’t shooting a hasselblad you aren’t trying.

It's a nationwide hobby project, not the military. Their funding is justified different.
>military: spend as little money as possible, but also wantonly waste money on bullshit R&D and even flying tires back and forth to use more gas to show that you need your budget
>NASA: gimme five million dollars i want a cooler rocket
So they actually did buy the best camera they could afford. I'm sure a hasselblad SLR was available at the time but apparently their build quality's gone to shit over the years, so say hasselblad users.';

I'm not saying there aren't men with huge ass hands on this earth, but even if the moon were real, we wouldn't be sending a giant up to it.
Just like we don't have giants racing horses.

My camera is cool and has actually went someplace cool, a coral reef, no camera has been to space as the earth is flt and a the moon is a projection originating from the secret labs on Antarctica.';
