My D-620L tends to underexpose (ie, I don't like the default exposure). To
increase the exposure, I have to navigate the menu, because Olympus was too

for not duplicating the "important" film-camera controls.

Hi William,

When you say "pro digicam" I assume you are referring to cameras other than your D-620L since I believe that it's something in the range of a 1.4mp consumer item. Anyway, are you sure that the true pro digicams don't have easily operated exposure compensation functions? The reason I ask is that my Olympus C3040 has the compensation buttons right on the rear of the camera and I find them easier to operate than the dials on my OM bodies. I would have thought that the pro bodies would have similar controls.

Later,
Johnny
