You're right.  Ergonomics is not exactly a C strong point.  But after 
using a 20D and 5D a lot I'm getting used to it.  Learning to navigate 
the menus on these cameras requires learning to recognize the color 
codes on the menu items.  But I think you'll find the 400D improved in 
this respect <http://www.dpreview.com/articles/canoneos400d/page10.asp> 
  I haven't tried it but the layout looks more like the M*nolta A1 which 
is pretty good.  You get some recognizable icons (like tools for setup 
items) in addition to the color codes.
