Indeed, I shoot very rarely Jpeg which is why I don't care much about WB.

I do not feel it is that difficult compared to ist-D mainly because
with the ist-D you were obliged to check the top LCD anyway.
A WB button but with a viewfinder reminder would be ideal. Otherwise I
prefer the K10D solution.

Sure customization is always welcome IMO. I don't use the RAW button
since I always shoot RAW and sometimes convert to Jpeg if I need to
print on my little Selphy printer (which colour behaviour is atrocious
btw).
AF button is useful sometimes when AF is difficult and I do not want
to go to MF mode.
QuickShift is nice but it requires AF find its target before letting
the user correct the focus if needed.
