Perhaps I should clarify - that's not my opinion, it's what the reviews will say...

Let me just stop you right there. Pentax ergonomics are absolutely the best. Nikon next, then Canon and their endless menu system and buttons located for use by gibbons with finger extensions.

I know what you mean H, but it's personal preference, especially ergonomics. The reviews will say that it's fine but not as ergonomically sound as (it seems) all reviewers have gibbon fingers and really like Canon handling...

You're right, but I've actually seen reviews that say this. Because it's screw drive on some lenses, the automatic assumption is that it's rubbish. They don't seem to do this with Canon or Nikon but they 'push' their products more (read as "pay more for advertising and give away many more freebies").

I'd love to see some of those reviews - it'll be an interesting comparison.
