[QUOTE="Wiredin, post: 158628, member: 14607"] because it's in an even more inconvenient spot on the D800 than it is in on the D600. you got a 80-200 f2.8 hand held, you got the shot lined up, you got your aperture and shutter speed right where you want it, but you think the exposure could use a stop or two of iso adjustment. So, you pull the camera away from your eye, shift your left hand adjust ISO and go to recompose. By this time the humming bird has flew off and your shot is lost. While, if you could set the iso to one of the front function buttons, you just reach your finger over, hit the button and quickly flick the dial, click the shutter, and you got your image. Coming from a Pentax K5 where the iso button is right up by the shutter, it makes adjusting ISO so quick and easy it's almost as fast as adjusting shutter speed or aperture. I don't trust auto exposure modes, you never know if they are going to get it right. I trust me. So I prefer to make the adjustments of all three elements myself. It just seems as though Nikon made it inconvenient to do so. [/QUOTE]
