I am currently using a Fujifilm X-T1 to shoot, and I absolutely love a dedicated ISO dial and a dedicated SS dial. Coupled with the aperture ring on the lenses, tweaking any of the three components can be done in the blink of an eye. I was wondering if anyone know any full frame cameras that have dedicated ISO and dedicated SS dials?

Not as far as I am aware; with Nikon you can set your front & rear command dials to adjust almost any function want, but as far as dedicated? I think you're out of luck.
 
You would have to forgo use of any G-series lenses if you want an actual, physical aperture ring on your lenses.

However, even with a D-series lens you typically use one of the command dials to control the aperture. To have to turn the aperture ring to set the aperture, you're using Ai-class lenses. Then you're limited to Manual or Aperture modes.
 
Mirrorless or DSLR. If the X-T1 were full frame (like the Sony A7) I'd be the happiest person ever.

I guess two adjustable dials will work too, if the lens has an aperture ring. I just want three physical dials, programmable or not, one for ISO, one for SS, and one for aperture.
 
actually the Nikon Df has ISO, SS, and Aperture knobs in the modern world of assbackwards interface design...
 
I tried the Df and did not like it. I liked the design, but not the performance.
 
performance in what regard?
 
Lacking AF, and just the lack of impressiveness in general. Also, my biggest beef with the camera - the purpose of having a SS dial is so that when I turn it to whatever SS, I would want it to change the SS... but it doesn't if you're in AP. So what's the purpose?!
 
You can set up the Sony A7 how ever you want, when in manual mine is set for back top wheel S/S and main wheel on back ISO, and if i was using Sony lenses front wheel would alter aperture but i use Leica mount lenses

The Nikon D800 is FX, and has four buttons on top left ( ISO and other functions), which you hold, and rotate rear shutter speed dial for ISO. You can see ISO in the viewfinder. That is very much like dedicated. Not all lenses have the aperture ring (G lenses do not), but shutter speed and aperture had the dedicated rear and front dial wheels. It is extremely convenient to use.

I may be missing something here. but if you are in Aperture Priority mode, when you set Aperture the camera sets SS.
If you want to set BOTH, then shouldn't you be in Manual ?

And all Nikons above the d7000 you can have the front dial for aperture, rear dial for SS, and have an independent ISO button.
Of course you can turn off the Aperture dial and have manual ring aperture. I use all AF-D lenses and I can do this, but I just use the dial for speed.
 
I do like the idea that if you make a change to SS if youre in A mode, that it would switch you to S mode.
