In my opinion, your best bet in the istd if you want to duplicate the

I forgot: the interface is also different; on the -S you set the
aperture from the lens, on the -D (all of them) this is only possible in
Manual mode (which reverts to HyperManual).

This is rather misleading. You set the aperture on the camera body,
unless the lens is a K or M lens, in which case you set it on the lens,
with the body set to manual mode. There have been endless fruitless
discussions on the merits of setting the aperture on the body versus
setting it on the lens, but even the die-hards get used quite quickly to
doing it on the body. The only people for whom this is an still issue is
people who are still using film, and have no idea what they are missing.
