Good to see that the F70 debate that I started is finally taking a rest. I only meant to highlight my discontent with it's user interface so that other unsuspecting buyers would not make the mistake of buying something which requires them to make dratic changes in how they use a camera and inadvertantly cause missed opportunities. If it suits the way you work then fine and good for you. The response from the topic has so far ranged from being reliegious to ironic. And speaking of irony, I recall one bloke commenting that the F70 interface, like Microsoft Windows he says, is a good thing once you get the hang of it and makes every other camera seem like using dos. To him I say rubbish! but if you insist, most modern cameras with LCDs are like using Windows except with the F70, you unplug the mouse and use the arrow keys, tab key and spacebar to navigate the interface. And yes, you even have 3 function keys to program in your favourite settings. With the F601, F801 and F90x, you not only have a mouse but touch-screen technology which allows you to set whatever you need with less fussing around. How bout that! As for the yet to be released F80, speculators have it that it's focusing system will be multiple point like the the Canon Elan II and based on the F90x CAM246 in the centre and two AM200 sensors in a row like so: [ ] [ ] [ ] A slider on the camera back controls which point you want active using you thumb.
