TalkEmount Hall of Famer
All this talk about ergonomics got me thinking about when I 'went digital' at the insistence of my wife (something about not enough pictures of the kids growing up).
At the time I was using my Nikon FE. I insisted on getting a camera that could do everything it could do, only digitally. My search ended up at the CoolPix 995. Talk about ergo horror! All those tiny little buttons on such a small camera! Not that I have fat fingers or anything like that...but really?
It taught me to become adaptable to the camera. I'm not sure what the shutter count is on that camera (still have it), but I'd be willing to bet I haven't taken as many shots with all my other digitals combined as I did using it.
So don't complain about ergonomics not being 'ideal'. Every time I look at an old Nikon F my shutter finger starts to cramp.
