You going to the Sonic meet tomorrow? I'll have my 1D MKII and 20D with me. I might bring my 350D if anyone wants to mess with a dSLR.

The 20D/30D probably has the best button setup for the Canon bodies. The 350D/400D lack a 2nd wheel for quick adjustments. They use 4 direction buttons for those adjustments. You hit one button, use the arrow buttons to select, then hit the SET button. The 20D/30D use 3 buttons to cover iso/wb/metering/exposure bracket/fps adjustment. Each of the 3 buttons is controlled by either the shutter dial or secondary dial. The 1D MKII set up is very cumbersome since it requires you to hold one or two buttons with your left hand then make the adjustment with your right hand on the shutter dial. The 20D/30D adjustment can be made with one hand.

It's hard to explain on a forum, much easier to see how it works in person lol.

cliff notes: 350D/400D & 1D series body - adjustments not as easy as the 20D/30D
