Many of these suggestions depend on your personal work habits. However, I do think the ISO should be more easily displayed. I have accidently left the camera on higher settings. It's odd for many of us to think of ISO this way, but it's now another "on the fly" adjustable exposure setting just like Tv and Av, and you certainly expect those to be available all the time, without tuning a knob.
The problem, of course is that sharpness, etc. are also available now, and if you tried to show everything it would be ridiculous. My only literal point of comparison is the E-10, and I much prefer the *istD interface. I suspect, however, that even though I am currently satisfied I could be shown an interface that I would like better with some use. I just find it a little hard to project beyond things that actually annoy me, like the rocker switch.

True enough unless of course you've inadvertently bumped either thumb wheel sending the camera into hyper mode, but hell a touch of the green button will sort that. If I'm just selecting ISO I don't understand why we should be forced to reset the program mode, I've never had to do this with any other camera I've ever owned. So yes there is a way around everything just like waking up the rear screen which will show ISO and meter mode, but it could have been done better. The MZ- D did have a dedicated LCD on the rear showing ISO, whether it was illuminated though I guess we'll never know.
