The feature I really want to see retained is a battery grip,
with a slide-out battery tray to hold the batteries.
I will be most unhappy if the vertical shooting controls are removed.
I find the vertical grip to be really useful.
I like the way the istD handles things. I never have batteries in the grip,
though. If I left the grip on all the time, I would probably never have
batteries in the camera body.
