I have had a similar experience with Sony products, and I have also experienced what Sony terms "Customer Service". Hence my hate.

It does depend on the individual, of course. I used film cameras back in the day, and they were functional, but not particularly ergonomic until later designs with grips and contoured bodies came along (thinking of my Z1p here, a camera I loved). These designs carried over onto DSLRs by and large. I have many cameras now of various brands (though not Sony - I hate them), both DSLRs and mirrorless, and the ones I enjoy using most have deep grips and enough real estate for sensibly spaced, well-placed buttons and controls. Others may enjoy the hark back to "tradional" design, but in my opinion there's no such thing really, given the many sizes and shapes of film cameras. The K-1 is reasonably (some may say "reassuringly") heavy, but despite being in my 70s now, I don't find it a burden, because I have small and lightweight lenses for it. I don't really notice it being heavier than my K-3s and K-5s because being smaller, they feel denser. At the end of the day it is very much a case of each to his/her own, and long may it be so!

I think we know the answer to this one. Conservatism. Look at the popularity of the Fuji X cameras, great looking, but ergonomically not a patch on a Pentax K-1.
