I have handled Nikon, Fuji and Canon DSLR's and have to say that there really isn't much between them in terms of ease of use. What you will find is that whichever you are most familiar with will be your preferred choice. Each of the makes functions and user interfaces have been tried and tested by many thousands of people and as a result although they are all different, it is probably just the fact that you may know one better than another that makes one seem easier to use.
