Re: Do you prefer T2i/550D, T3i/600D menu buttons over T1i/500D?

I recently upgraded from 500D to 600D, having previously had a 30D. I much prefer the 600D over the 500D. The buttons are slightly different and I find my fingers more easily find the EV button - my hands are medium sized. Both EV & ISO buttons operate even if the electronic overlay in the VF display has blanked (don't think this is the case with the 500D but that could be my memory at fault). Also, leaving the LCD out to the LHS means it doesn't get nose marks. No need for it yet but the remote flash was also a big positive as I intend to acquire a 430EX II at some point. Stuart
