This is a $4500 camera. THE latest and greatest. For pros. People who have to work in a hurry, and who take time to learn the cameras functions and interface really well so they can do just that. $4500. $5000 if you're outside the US. It's not a plot, it's a badly designed camera interface, in the one camera where you wouldn't expect to see such.
>Personally attacking the engineers that designed it is a little overboard.
Who is responsible for a nine-click 'load saved settings'? Your evil plot comment suggests that you think I am paranoid, and therefore at fault. The interface engineers built this interface and they are responsible for it. I think they should be sacked.
>Yea, that would be the only two options. (HEAVY sarcasm there)
If you have other explanations for the broken joystick and the absence of a usable version of 'save camera settings', I am all ears.
Sorry to sound confrontational about this, but I really feel that too many people are willing to make excuses for poor interface design. We can only stop it being a Windows world if we actually know how it could be better, and ask for it to be so.
I tried a couple weeks ago to figure out how many people on here actually own a MkIII, best I could tell, about 100 or so. If this camera is as big of a disaster as you make it sound, seems like more than 50 people would be piling on here to scream along side you about what a useless piece of manure it is. OK, so the interface doesn't work for you, it must work for some of us, can you admit that? I haven't missed a single shot because of the interface since I took it out of the box. I get paid everyday to get my MkIII out of its case, it hasn't failed me yet, paid for itself many times over already.
Peace Out! (meaning I've said my piece)
