The card door and card removal is less than desirable. I don't mind the control wheel and all it's functions. It keeps the number of buttons and what not down to a managable level. I hate excessive buttons. If I want to use a big camera, I have a 6x7. Digital emulates 35mm, and should be sized accordingly. I wouldn't want the ist D to be any bigger. The central hot shoe serves a purpose. You can, with it, take a flash picture with the shadow falling behind the subject rather than beside. Move the hot shoe off the lens axis and you can no longer do that. William Robb
