I do not have to enter into any menu--just press two buttons (located 2 cm from each other, so it is not difficult) and rotate the small wheel to change ISO. It is second nature. On my Olympus E410, you do go through a menu, but it is a shortcut type of menu, and can be done as quickly as on the Canon.
