Eric you are so right ergonomics are all important. When hand holding even more so we use Sony's NX5E medium sized AVCHD, x3 CMOS Chips, Camcorders they are very well balanced for hand holding and you can pull the eye-piece into you face,with hands holding the camera body firmly on both sides. The rocker zoom is well placed on the right sided hand grip. IE a lot of thought has gone into the design. The modern steadycam is very good too. There are two XLR sockets for pro sound cables, the D800 has a small stereo 3.5mm mini-jack, very prone to handling damage. With any DSLR you need to hold it infront of your face and try to see into the LCD, even with a loupe in place it is very hard to get a steady hold and any camera movement on a modern 40inch+ HD TV shows up.
