......The thing is that
we have an unprecedented number of people upgrading from the 10D
and 300D who are having adjustment issues with the 1 series
controls and don't get why anyone would want or need this setup
when in fact it's very helpful for the target market.

There is a long thread about the MKII buttons, that require 10
fingers to push at the same time to operate. It is so highly
controversial. TWo camps : red and blue. one critique the other
worship whatever in this machine.
I want to reboot and brainstorm in different but more fundamental
aspect of the construction of this remarkable camera.
Why did Canon build MKII the way they did. They can do it so easy
to operate as Toyata build Lexus. Sophisticated, powerful and yet
so smooth and one can drive it while sleeping and still arrive
safely home.
But the Japanese have competition as far as cars are concerned: the
Germans. So they have to do what we Americans like: soothing
smoothness. Not so with Cameras.
Here in the world of photography, the Kingdom of the Sun, that is.
The Japanese totally dominate the market. The Americans own the
Golden Arches of MCDonald. They push grease and fries down people's
throat around the world. The weird thing is; Around the world
people love American for this "healthy food."
Now the Japanese are sticking it to us. They love things the hard
way. It is the pain just to see them using all the energy to speak.
They said: you want our cameras? you operate the hard way we love:
use all your ten fingers and maybe you teeth . You have no choice.
And they are right, we have no choice. Some of us already are
assimilated to the Japanese culture: they love all the buttons of
MKII and want even more.
