The shutter speed dial in full stops seems silly, reminding me of the Nikkormat EL, my first camera about 50 years ago. Is it necessary with the three control dials? I would only use a full stop about 1/3 of the time naturally.
Again, I don't want to start an argument over something as subjective as ergonomics, but I hope you're asking the question in good faith. The way I use the dedicated shutter dial is when shooting action:
- Set the aperture to the desired setting or Auto
- Set the ISO to A
- Now the shutter dial is only used to set the minimum speed required for freezing the subject
You don't need 1/3 of stops for that. Exposure is controlled by the camera's automation using auto-ISO within the range you've defined using dials. It's quick, intuitive, and your settings are clearly visible even when the camera is powered off.
