I\'ve been a canon shooter ending with the 5D3, we use the D800e in our studio and my personal camera is now an A7r.
I voted canon. With the 5D3 they hit the best combination of ergonomics, button customisation options and menu. It really is a dream to use. I wish my older canons had been so good, especially the 1 series.
The Nikon D800e does not have an intuitive menu even after using them for a couple of years, no decent \'my menu\' and I have to manual dive too often to set up custom stuff. The button layout has always been utterly excellent though I do prefer the canon rear dial for my clumsy paws.
The Sony A7r has wonderful button customisation but access to crucial functions is not available without menu diving. The buttons are horrible to use, too small, without tactile feel and very badly placed. Every single one of them. The A7II seems to improve somewhat on this apparently but at the expense of the control dials. The menu is a nightmare of badly placed items and there is desperate need for a \'my menu\'.
