I'm not of the mind that sharpness should be one of the controls that should 
find its way onto a primary control, contrast however...

I found the E-10 a mixed bag, of course it's not really a fair comparison as 
the *ist D is much faster with any type of review or saving. However the mode 
control was well separated from the ISO selection (which was buried in the LCD 
menus), strangely a great deal of the *ist D controls are otherwise quite 
similar.

When I first picked up the E-10 I couldn't believe the amount of buttons that 
were scattered across it's body however quite soon after I realized that they 
were generally quite well placed. I found that I could operate most controls 
without having to change my grip on the camera substantially. So we obviously 
have different takes on this interface also :-)
