It's hard to predict what will be comfortable...
The tiny PC-1/5 is comfortable for me (small finger
at bottom, next two up through strap, first on zoom
control, thumb on start/stop - all fit fine...);
the noticeably larger/heavier PC100 is more awkward
(the small finger rides against the sharp edge of
the strap eyelet, the still-photo button should
be where the NS slow-speed button is, and the
fingers through the strap hit the focus ring);
the horizontal-form cameras are generally comfortable
(more, or less, depending on the height/angle you
hold the camera at...). All these small cameras are
more comfortable to hold than the VX-2000...! ;-)
