This has been my experience with the Sony cameras that I've tried too. It's like fingernails on a chalkboard for me. I have large hands but... that large? I was surprised. I know that they get a lot of love on this site but they're really not for me.

I'm also very much enjoying the R. I'd planned to use it in parallel with my old Olympus E-M1 since I had some nice long lenses for the E-M1. I took them both on an extended trip this summer and found that 96% of the shots that I took were with the R and 100% of the ones that I liked were taken with the R. So the Olympus gear is now mostly gone and I'm putting the proceeds into glass for the R.
