For me to buy one, I'd like to see a touch screen with touch focus and shutter and auto ISO in manual mode. Of course, I'd like to see ISO performance on the level of the 5N or better. While...

instead of a 580ex II, to go with my 430ex II. I want to use them for portraits. I was also considering picking up a couple of Yongnuo 560's and just doing it all manually (I have in the past). I...
