>>3825356>Fuji>best ergonomicsThis is a VERY subjective thing.
Fuji's ergonomics (other than the X-H1 and X-S10) hearken back to the days before the Canon T90 switched up the paradigm of most high-end cameras. There's definitely a *reason* why the industry moved to big groups and more rounded bodies instead of the old squareish designs, and that's because most people prefer them.
Buuuut, not everyone. For people who liked those old-school ergonomics, Fuji's just about the only game in town (well, Fuji plus Leica, but Leica's its own special thing).
Similarly, most companies moved away from the hard exposure dials, with an aperture ring on the lens and a shutter speed dial with discrete stops because it allowed for clever advancements like custom modes, swapping the control dials depending on your preference, making half-stops vs third-stops an option, etc.
Buuuuuuuut, some people prefer that more tactile feeling of turning a knob to '500' to get 1/500th of a second and don't use those more advanced features. So for them, Fuji's the way to go.
Fuji's ergonomics are definitely the best for people who like Fuji's ergonomics, but you can't just say they're the best full stop. Objectively speaking, lots of people hate them.
From my own personal perspective, I really like Fuji's ergonomics for when I'm just out on a little meander taking pictures of whatever strikes my fancy, but I would not want to shoot with Fuji-style controls for a photoshoot or a big event because Fuji's ergonomics and control layout don't map well to how I work in those sorts of scenarios.
I'd wager that photojournalists are a big group for whom that Fuji style of shooting really works for them. They have a very photojournalism-ish feel to them.
(Plus, frankly, I'm guessing that having a digital camera that matches the aesthetic of the cameras of photojournalists from the 70s and 80 who they admired is also a draw)
