>>3301954>I honestly can not understand how the majority of /p/ finds the retro control scheme better than the modern twin command dial setup.The majority of /p/ does not use Fuji cameras. The one you posted looks cramped because it's designed as a compact. If you are baiting for someone to make the case for these cameras in general, then here's what I'd say:
-More direct physical controls is always better than fewer.
-For a mirrorless camera with reduced top-of-camera real estate, analog controls allow you to view and adjust the settings when the camera is powered off.
-The higher tier Fuji cameras DO have twin command dials, and you can use one for shutter speed on any Fuji camera if you set the top dial to "T." On the medium format cameras and with lenses lacking an aperture ring on other Fuji cameras, you can use the other command dial for aperture. On some of the cameras, you can also set a command dial to control exposure comp. They are actually very customizable controls.
It can be more tedious when you have to take the camera away from your eye to adjust settings, though. The analog dials solve a problem that plagued early mirrorless cameras like the Sony NEX, but they can be a little funky to adjust when you're not looking a them. The shutter drive switch, in particular, always gives me problems because Fuji couldn't just put a useful function at either extreme end of rotation. You have to look at that dial to adjust it.
