That happens to me every time. Last week I had a pushbutton ignition rental car. This week not. For the first several days I threw the key fob in the center console and went to push the button. > In general, I think that to say that such and such camera has bad > ergonomics either should assume that it is perspective of just one > person, the one who writes, or it is intellectually dishonest. > I agree. What kind of ergonomics did the entire range of Pentax and other manufacturers DSLR's in the 60's - 80's have? Somehow we figured out how to make our hands and fingers operate them.
