I also like the wheels and dials on the Canon EOS (film and digital) cameras. What I don't like is push buttons. On the other hand, I can hardly consider knobs like the lower shutter speed knobs on Leica screw mount cameras as user friendly. Knobs for knobs sake = snob. :-) Form must follow function in this case. - - Phong > grduprey@rockwellcollins.com wrote: > > Yes, but knobs are much more user friendly even if they control digital > circuits.
