I'm generally a Nikon guy too, and agree they feel more natural in terms of ergonomics and workflow than Sony...but then again I've heard Canon guys have similar complains about Nikon!

I think the reality is we get used to the system we use (especially after 45 years!) and naturally anything new will feel a bit off. If you're brand agnostic and coming into it fresh, I'm sure the Sony system will feel pretty natural right away. But it's also why I think its good to keep it simple when you start and not get too bogged down in features and gear.

Overcomplication is actually why my D800 sits on the shelf, and Id rather shoot with an old FE or my Mamiya 7. I'm not a professional, I'm just in it for fun like all of us here, and keeping it simple makes photography fun again.
