This is where I realise why I love the D300 despite it's 12MP and blizzard of noise above ISO 800

No... that's not quite correct. She needs to hold down the EC (exposure compensation)  button while turning the dial, and there is no enter key pressing needed.

Unless... she's using the touchscreen. I don't have any experience with canon touchscreens. You had better ask someone else.

BTW I agree with you on the pro cameras level of control - I use a canon 7D, your D300's arch rival!
