I feel the same way.
Good ergonomics is an exercise in good design. Whether with buttons
or menus.

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.
