When I was shopping, I was comparing the Sony Alphas with the Fujifilm XT line.

And in reviews, complaints were made that the lens (and view finder) being centered in the XT means you squish your nose against the screen in the back.

But... I just liked the look and dials of the XT-5 so much more than the barebones boxy look of the α6700.

(Sony has meaningfully better autofocus too, I'll be sad, but I wanted the nice looking body...)

And yes my nose squishes against that back screen.

I just got the XT-5 too - not for the form but because the feature set is so good. However, I don't get this obsession on centred viewfinders - they could be anywhere on the camera body now they are digital; they may as well be on the left side where my nose isn't going to be smudging the screen.

The camera is fantastic, though.

A6000 and A6600 owner checking in : I love the boxy look! The viewfinder on the left makes lining up long shots kinda hard though. I have to zoom out to 50mm find my subject (birds) then zoom back to 400mm+, so I have been eyeing the more expensive models just to have it in the center. Idk if it would even help lol.
