In my time here I've noticed that most gearfaggotry that takes place here is almost completely specs related. Most discussion about systems and their differences devolves into arguments about optics and sensors. What is rarely ever mentioned is how something handles. There are a variety of photography styles out there, and sometimes a workflow can be hindered by poor gear choices or made easier when gear is chosen with ergonomics and application in mind.
Something as simple as grip shape or button placement could help you get more consistent results or at least facilitate the photography process enough to maybe coax you to take out your camera a little more often. Maybe you use manual focus a lot so even things like focus ring size and dampening as well as the quality of focus peaking in the body may be important. Maybe the lenses you want to use are big and your knuckles dig into it because of how close the grip is to the mount. Too bad, all you looked at were specs and you didn't consider these things and now you hate your camera.
Pretty much all brands of camera out today have gotten to the point where they have a competent workflow with at least passable ergonomics, but perhaps it's important to consider these differences when choosing a system?
