The setup is a close match to what worked on the Canon 10D, Konica Minolta A2, and Sony R1 ... all of them two-wheel control cameras with program shift. The best part is EV Compensation without a chorded button press over the DS interface ... I change EV comp more often than aperture in Av mode, and shift only rarely in P mode, normally I'd put that on my thumb but the DS habit of changing aperture or shutter time with the thumb is still with me since I have the DS bodies. I'm in Av or P mode most of the time now. I only rarely use Tv mode, for one reason or another ... mostly when working with a long lens which is rare in itself.
