I've been lamenting about Sony (and other) camera ergonomics lately.
In my book, this here is the (almost) perfect layout:

* an off-center viewfinder - my left hand is not on the camera but supporting the lens so why are manufacturers insisting on putting buttons/dials on the left side of the viewfinder
* a BIG grip with lots of space between the grip and the lens
* a rear dial for the thumb
Of course, nowadays the display would be bigger and there'd be an additional joystick somewhere.
Canon almost made it there with the EOS R but, of course, they fucked it up by placing the on/off dial on the left side ... why oh why ...
Just my 2c
