So you're saying it's easier to hold down a button and operate the command dial instead of just rotating the command dial in manual mode to change aperture.
Because on a baby Nikon that's exactly what you have to do... hold down the aperture/exposure compensation button and then turn the command dial.
To change ISO you have to dive into the menu system, is that really easier than pushing a button that says ISO?
I don't see your argument based on being new vs knowing what you're doing.
What I'm talking about is that when a camera has 3 times the amount of functions, its allot more complicated for someone to learn who knows nothing about DSLR's... I know this from experience, because I learned on a Sony a200, which is a very basic DSLR... After about a year, I bought a Nikon D200, and it has some many features that the camera was really overwhelming to me... The simplicity of the a200 is what made it easier... That was my point. Now that I know what I'm doing, sure the D200 is much easier in terms of functionality...
