Sony cameras do so much, that is partly the reason the menu is so extensive. Once you learn it you can customize each function and control button to what you want, no sweat. Cheers

I guess I'm in the minority but cameras that do to much turn me off.
As with all "design" I prefer simplicity..... Simplicity is hard to accomplish!
It very easy for a designer to put "stuff" on the chip because there is room.
But the choice to only include that which is important..... that's design and a joy to use.
Like I said I'm in the minority

Sony cameras can operate as simply as any user wants, no problem. But they also have abilities worth exploring. Cheers

The OP was trying out a Nikon D850. It seems that he was leaning towards a full frame camera. It was only the weight that was a problem.
With a full frame camera, you get a bigger and better viewfinder.

The Nikon Df is only 5oz. lighter than the D850 (according to Nikon website) and smaller body.
The difference is over 7 oz. without batteries in the cameras. The difference is 8 oz. with the batteries in the cameras. That is significant. Usually the weight is expressed in grams. The Nikon Df weighs 710 grams (body only) - 765 grams with battery. The Nikon D850 weighs 915 grams (body only) - 990 grams with battery.

I second wrangler5’s recommendation to consider eyepiece diopters for your current cameras before downgrading. My 35mm rangefinders are a Voightlander Bessa R and a Bessa R3M, both of which accept all Nikon eyepiece accessories. So focusing is never a problem as I age, and I continue using Leica and Voightlander lenses.

For what its worth I use a +4 dioptor in my M and it makes all the difference
Have you looked into a Walter Contrast dioptor? It is a simple solution to a new System.
