One feature I wish my new camera had on it.

My wife, I mean Santa got me a Sony a6300 for Christmas.  This camera is amazing, nothing about it I don't like except... when it comes to navigating the menu, the buttons are just so darn small!  I need a feature on this camera that will when activated, will blow the camera up to double it's size.  That way I can use the menu and not fumble around so badly with the controls.

Well, I know it's a long shot, however is there a feature like this? 

LOL

Could be cited as the universal curse of all mirrorless cameras. Though some of the smallest mirrorless cram the little buttons in tighter than others. My Oly E-M5 is certainly guilty of that.

:agree:   Mirrorless cameras pretty much all share the need for such a button!

Yup, my wife's little P&S is a fat finger nightmare for me to use. 

Why so serious?

Pretty much the case for all electronics with buttons.  My cell phone can get annoying at times as well.

I would like a way to permanently disable the on-camera flash. :angry:

Likely why many of the newer cameras are shipping without a flash
