I guess the card problem could have been solved very easily by turning the contact board inside the camera - or the the card compartment door - 180 degrees. The CF cards have a rim on the "back side" which can serve as a handle for the finger nail on the right hand thumb.

After break-in however, it's not an issue at all. You DO have to be sure to have the strap in the right position to get the door open but so what? I use the shot review and would like to have the histogram review be a little easier to access. Highlight warning sounds nice. I'm living quite happily without it though.
