Unfortunately too small for my hands

I've been mainly shooting with a Canon 70D over the last year, as I downsize from Canon 5D MKII and my 5D original with battery grip when I do weddings.  I note this because my hands are used to a lot of space.  I've been wanting to downsize even further as I start to travel more, especially when we plan to hike while away.  Smaller camera, smaller lenses means smaller tripods, smaller bags ... all equalling less weight.  Without a lens, this camera with battery and memory card is only around 383g!  Unbelievable when you go over the list of what if offers.  I really wanted to like this camera, I did like this camera, but ultimately it was not comfortable for me to use, and I actually started getting a cramp in my right hand.  The whole point of downsizing is to be comfortable, and this took it from one issue and traded it for another.  The price point and quality of this camera is a superb balance.  I had thought about the big brother, the X-T2, but the price point in Canada is almost $1,000 more after taxes.  Yikes!

Honestly, the lens system is amazing, albeit not a ton to choose from.  However, how many lenses does a manufacturer need to offer?  No point in offering low quality, mediocre performing, affordable lenses if the resulting photo is ok.  I like to print my photos, especially landscape from traveling from 8x10s to 11x14s, and as big as 16x20 (I have the Epson 3880 printer).

In any case, lots of great features on this camera but the small form factor was unliveable for me.  I did like the system so much though, that when I returned the X-T20 I did cough up the extra dough and get the X-T2.  Yes it's heavier, but still much lighter than my Canon 70D.  Yes it doesn't not have a touch screen, but it makes up for it with the little joystick and a slick interface for scrolling through photos.  The viewfinder is amazing.  I thought the viewfinder on the X-20 was great, equalling the experience of use on the 70D.  Since the system is the same set of lenses, the other 2/3rds of traveling with camera gear is the lenses you take and anything else that supports it (ie. tripod, camera bag).  So other than the painful pill of shelling out more bucks, the rest of it is not an inconvenience.

If I didn't have the space issue for my right hand, and more specifically, right thumb on the back of the camera hitting the up and right button on the D-pad (Fn 3 and Fn 5), then I would have kept the camera and been quite happy.  But my I constantly hit them, to the point where I had to customize them so they didn't activate anything.  I also began to start holding the camera body differently where my hand was not only uncomfortable but also starting to become a chore, even painful to hold and shoot with the camera (sucks!).

If you do not have medium to big hands, then I strongly recommend this camera if you can live without the features of the Fuji X-T2.  If you cannot and are on the X-20 budget, I would strongly advise you to try an X-T1 new or used.  Equal to less money, but a much more friendly camera to hold and enjoy.
