Why wouldn't I want to see a consistent, logical, intuitive interface
made into a standard?? I just migrated to an N90s from an N70 and
actually I very much miss the interface of the N70. The "Quick
Recall" settings are really what makes the interface, aside from the
capability to see at a glance every setting. That said, what I love
about Nikon, and one of the reasons I switched from Canon, is that
every camera is really quite unique. Want "Star Wars", get an N70,
want traditional, get an F4s, want Canon, get an N60, want a
workhorse, get an N90s, and on and on. The "case" is what do you
want, the answer is, Nikon has it!
What's wrong with consistency? Why do you think it's good that you
have to learn how to use a new Nikon afresh?
A couple of days ago, I was actually looking at a Canon Elan IIe, a
Nikon N70 and a Pentax ZX-5n, and I can tell you that far and away the
nicest interface was on that Pentax. Of course, coming from an N2020,
that interface looks like the one on my camera. The ZX-5 is also
small and light compared to either of the other two cameras, it's
perfect for street photography. I think Nikon should copy it for their
next consumer model. The N70 interface reminded me of the interface
on my Samsung point and shoot, only the N70 has more features. And
just for the record, I wasn't too thrilled with the Canon's interface,
but then I didn't know the first thing about Canons and not having an
aperture ring on lens was a bit weird at first....
