Re: Still waiting....
Regarding your comment about changing settings without having to use a menu, I am also in favour of ditching the menu wherever possible.
When I bought my last film 35mm camera, the choice boiled down to a Canon T90 or the Olympus OM2 SP. Strictly speaking, I think the Canon was the better camera, but I bought the Olympus because in use, I could make any changes I wanted without taking my eye away from the viewfinder, simply by touch. With the Canon, you had to use a button on the LHS to select a mode, then another button on the RHS to make any changes that were shown in an LCD screen. It is a little ironic that now, one of the reasons I bought a dSLR was to be able to change settings by the use of a button and thumbwheel whilst looking at an LCD screen!!
My first digital compact is still in use, because when I was considering getting a newer one, I could not find one that had at least some controls on dials and buttons, and did not rely solely on the b****y menu.
