I only used the manual white balance button on the D once or twice. I
quickly realized that since I shoot RAW, there was no point in fooling
with it. But it seemed relatively easy to work with as I recall.

Manual white balance on the DS2 seems to be brilliantly simple, and
even though it's now in a menu instead of on a little button, I find
it much easier.
I admire simplicity; I hate menus. And yet I find most of the
controls on the DS2 easier to work with because I don't have to change
either my head's position or the camera's position to look at the top
screen and those dials -- I just have to take my eye away from the
viewfinder to see the rear screen.
Anyways, I was just wondering if I was the only person who felt like
that, especially about the manual white balance. As someone who
bought a 67 over a 67II and who really admired the MZ-5, I never
really thought I'd favor a menu/joystick combo over a button for
anything.
