Some cameras rise above their ergonomics. The Kodak Medalist, is a
beast, though not that much bigger and heavier than a K20D, and by
modern, (say post 1950), standards quirky to say the least, but what
limits my shooting with it is available film. The damned stuff is
getting expensive, (and I have to re-spool the 120 onto 620), even if I
only shoot B&W with it. I'm sad that I will never see Ektachrome or
better still Kodachrome slides from it...

Case in point...
I have the K-01 with me all the time in the car
I'm still having trouble getting used to the 'NO VIEWFINDER.'
This makes me put it away faster/sooner and stop shooting.
Not really a good thing. I'm trying to adjust, but...

That's half-true, at best. My Nikon P7100 just isn't good for low-light
photography (although it's considerably better than my previous Canon

argue
that it's capable, I suppose, but that smells of "wrong question").
Really?
You show me one camera that cannot produce a pleasing image and I'll
show you a million that are.
I wasn't referring to a specific use for a specific camera. I was
speaking in general terms, that being, any camera is capable of
producing a pleasing and decent image, unless it's downright
defective.

I fully understand Aahz's "no camera is good if you hate to use it" comment.
The camera my be fine, but if it's ergonomics are getting in the way of the
user, or even if it's just butt ugly and is missing key components (the
Pentax K-01 for example), it's not going to be something the photographer
wants to use.
