Because: 1 - Choosing Custom 1, 2, 3 with the D is not just click-click, it's: push menu button push down arrow push right arrow push OK button, push shutter release button That would be enough for not making it so much better than looking for the (blind, in the dark) ISO setting position on the mode dial and then setting it back onto the (still blind, in the dark) shooting mode position all the time. The Fn setting of the Ds is way better in this respect, and the K10D will also, And then: 2 - ISO is not among custom setting items! Enough, isn't it?
