I would actually find it more convenient on the back. The best thing would be if on the -DS the color LCD could be used as a super data LCD with real time info.

Does Pentax accept any form of feedback from user for firmware improvement suggestions? I have other suggestions for little user interface improvements to the -DS and we could make a list. > - AF seems quite a bit smoother and faster I also felt that when I checked the Canon, but with most lenses the -DS focuses fast enough. The instant manual focus push button on the DS is also very convenient and the Canon does not have that.
