I remember - F-70 and its "star wars" type controls ;-) It was really awful. But I must admit that I tried F100 and some of their newer bodies and they all have excellent ergonomics.

But I'm sure that after a while I could use any modern EOS body comfortably ;-) For me the best ergonomic idea is built into KM Maxxum (Dynax) 7D DSLR - combination of classic controls with modern, electronic type ones, direct access to most important functions. The same Pentax did in MZ-S, maybe they'll repeat it in *istD replacement??? -- Balance is the ultimate good... Best Regards Sylwek
