I don't disagree that ISO should be visible in the viewfinder; even if it were, the D's implementation would still be terrible. No matter what, you have to change your hand position to change ISO. With a film camera, this was acceptable because you don't change ISO in mid-roll.
Any function that makes me stop shooting to adjust it is badly implemented, and I mean full-stop -- I have to move a hand position and move my head or move the camera. Dials are only good when properly implemented. -Aaron -----Original Message----- From: "P. J.

It's now a shooting parameter, if you have shutter speed and f stop in the viewfinder you should have current ISO as well. Then the dial makes sense. A push button to change the function of one of the wheels would make more sense, but I figure we'll never see that. Aaron Reynolds wrote: >On Aug 4, 2006, at 8:56 PM, P. J.
