Yes Jim! That's what is really bugging me about the 70D also as it has the same problem, i can't adjust the +/-EV quickly! You must 'awaken' it by half-pressing the shutter then you can use the rear wheel to adjust EV which wastes seconds and i have to get the lens to focus again. Even worse is because i have it set to switch off the rear screen during half-pressing so i get both issues at once - aargh! Why have Canon created all these awkward niggles?? Maybe i should have just got my 650D refurbed...

Also the different shape of the ISO button is not different enough to distinguish from the other top buttons in a hurry, the shape of the 650/700D was better, though you do have less to choose from on the 760D so is it as bad as the 70??
