Well, as you shift one way or the other with the Canon's wheel, both
values change. Just as they do with the KM ... or Pentax ... right?
Doesn't really matter which control wheel you turn.
Is it a plus that having HyperProgram you essentially have lost one type
of exposure mode control? You have Program, and either of Av or Tv
depending upon which wheel you turn. You change between them fluidly ...
but then if you had Program-shift like the Canon, you simply pay attention
to which of the two parameters you want to hit a certain value.
3) I *think* that Program shift will follow the (shifted) program line
when the light changes, and possibly ruin your carefully selected speed
or dof. HyP will keep the required parameter (A or T) constant, and only
adjust the other. I think this is the most important difference?
That's about the biggest difference. I don't really see that it's all that
important. If aperture or exposure time are that important, I'd likely
just use Tv or Av instead.
So the biggest difference, to me, is simply that it allows shifting
between P, Av and Tv without turning the mode selector.

All things considered, it should be even.. With Pentax I never use Av or Tv
modes because of HyperProgram. However, just having one wheel to turn and
remembering which way to turn it sounds just as easy.
