As a Graphic Designer I always look at products critically, always trying to simplify them or change them for the better. There are some objects that are clearly created with a specific user in mind and objects created for a more general use, some with good design and some not. I have shot photography since I was about 8 and over the years I have used several different 35mm, large format, medium format, and digital cameras. My favorite camera interface design is the Nikon D80. The camera has a handle grip that contour to your hand for a easy grip. There are two brackets that control the shutter speed and F stop, one for the pointer finger and thumb. This allows for easy and quick bracketing which is great for those one time shots in weddings. Every button on this camera is easily reachable from the grip handle, making this camera's interface well designed.
