Thanks for the report, but I think you did not really understand how to use the ISO dial. You should operate the dial with your right hand, while you are looking through the viewfinder. The changing ISO values are visible on the display. In that fashion, it is a very natural, simple and quick setup option. Using the dial looking from above on it, can be confusing and not feeling natural at all. If you use this camera on a regular base, you will find yourself doing adjustments almost automatically, all with your right hand, while not moving your eye off the viewfinder. Instead, being concentrated on finding the right composition.
