I guess we're just dreaming John. In explaining the responses I see here can only I use the analogy of a becoming familiar with a vehicle that has poor ergonomics. Firstly it feels awkward then after years of driving such a vehicle you get quite used to it, it feels quite normal. But when you later get into a well designed vehicle again you wonder how the heck you put up with the other crap. I had a camera with well designed CF card access, initially the *ist D seemed a very poor design and was irritating until I worked out work-arounds. Now I'm used to it, hopefully what comes next will be a better design but none of this changes the fact that the *ist D card access is an inherently poor design.
