Sausage fingers

Being fed up with its bulk , about 6 months ago I switched from  a Canon 5d mki to fuji xt1. Generally I'm happy, I have a converter so  I can use my old lenses and the fuji, 18 & 27mm. No complaints at all with those. However, I'm getting frustrated with how bloody anoying and fiddly the camera is to use. I keep knocking the drive ,metering ,shutter and the exp comp dials when ever I pick it up and I can't use the rear dial without a thumb In my eye. I'm really happy with how much size and weight I've saved, but its starting to become a chore to use.  Is this a shared observation of fuji or is it just me and fat fingers. Is there an alternate to the xt1 that is easier to use or should I just carry on and hope to get used to it

I own the X-T1, which I now use as my fake XPro2 or 3 with the 27mm 2.8 lens.  I love that camera.  However, it is rather tiny compared to the X-H1 and even the X-T2.  Have you tried those?  In additions I ALWAYS had an issue with the X-T1 and the almost recessed buttons on the back. I even tried Sugaru to raise them which worked for a while, but it does come off. 

You may want to consider another camera body and use the X-T1, like a compact - which is what I do now.  I keep it in my bag and pull it out whenever the opportunity arises during my commute.

    • Because the sensor assembly is moved electrmagnetically. When there is no power it is essentially free moving.
    • Ahoy ye hearties! Hoist ye yon Jolly Roger and Cascade away. NGC 1502 The Jolly Roger Cluster:

      This is the equivalent of 43 minutes, 40 seconds of exposure. NGC 1502 is a neat little cluster located in the Camelopardalis Constellation. This region of space was thought to be fairly empty by early astronomers, but as you can see, there is a lot there. Kemble's Cascade (a.k.a. Kemble 1) is named for Father Lucian Kemble, a Canadian Franciscan friar who wrote about it to Walter Scott Houston, an author for the Sky And Telescope magazine. Houston named the asterism for Fr. Kemble and the name "stuck". NGC 1501 is the Oyster Nebula. A longer focal length telescope is needed to bring this one into good viewing range, but it is well worth the effort.

    • Looking for input; there are some decent deals and might want to take advantage to expand my lenses for my 100s already own: 110/2 32-64 35-70 100-200 + TC   Shooting mostly family shots, bringing my kit to capture family outings indoors and out. Tracking the 63/43 effective FLs on the two, but has anybody used both? Would the 55 (covered by two zooms right now) be redundant? Would the 80 be too similar in character to my 110 for portraiture?
