I don't know if it can be done through firmware, but I vote for improved flash TTL control.

Indeed. This would be nice.

On the ISO stuff, I'd be happy enough to always have ISO in the viewfinder and frames on the top. But a menu to choose would be fine too. Either way, it has to be clear WHAT it is showing. I'd be happy with '2', '4', '8', '16' and '32', but with a prefix or suffix indicating ISO (I'm not sure that 'h' really does, but I don't know what would) And an easier way to select is a must.

And also some other ideas:

* Compresed PEF support. And only store 12 bits, not 16.... the current method wastes half the card space, compared to CRW :(

* Replace the silly embedded JPG in the PEF with an OPTIONAL extra JPG, at a settable res (ie v. small)

* More accurate battery indication. I know it only has 3 positions, but they could at least be 3 meaningfull positions...

* I'd like more control over exposure compensation. Wider range would be nice, but also the number of frames... sometimes I want 2, and I'd also like to be able to do more than 3. ie, take 6 frames each one stop apart, for building a HDRI image. (okay, so I'm lazy :)

* Change custom function sets to be full custom setting sets, and remember more things. Then provide easy access to theses settings, and possibly more of them.

* I was also thinking about the AF / manual fine-tune stuff that various lenses can do, and other systems. It seems to me, this could be done relatively easily as-is, with all lenses. I would like something that basically focuses (in AF-S mode), then once having focus-locked, disengages the motor, allowing MF while you're still half-holding the shutter. This would only work if the AF motor is under firmware control, not directly controlled by the switch, but there's a reasonable chance this is the case I think.

No doubt there are other things I've forgotten right now too.
