[QUOTE="Horoscope Fish, post: 439507, member: 13090"] It's just a matter of what you're used to: the D750 feels awkward because you're accustomed to the D700 and (so called) muscle-memory is a powerful thing. If you shot with nothing but a D750 every day for six months going back to the D700 would then feel strange. Working in the Visual Arts department at a college has allowed me the opportunity to shoot with so many cameras over the years I'm comfortable with just about anything any more. They're all just tools. As to why the designs change, that's typically because when it comes to sophisticated electronics like DSLR's one minor change in the layout of even a single part often causes a domino-effect of other changes that must be done in order to incorporate the first change. Make one chip on a PCB board even a tiny bit bigger and it can nudge a capacitor over a few millimeters... Which then means you need to move that OTHER chip over a few millimeters to make everything fit... Which then means this particular switch can't be used. But a button can... Just not where the switch was because there's another capacitor in the way (capacitors are too blame for most every problem electronic, by the way). Oh, and the guys in the Marketing department says the body absolutely *can not* be any larger than "just so" (insert impossibly small specifications) and the Bean Counters in Accounting say you can't exceed projected costs because they already have bids in place for this module or that sub-assembly or both... Final result: totally different layout that pisses off both the engineers AND the marketing guys because everyone wants what they can't have. [COLOR="#FFFFFF"]....[/COLOR] [/QUOTE]
