I agree. Ergonomically, the 5D leaves some things to be desired. Apart
from the grip I find its most annoying feature to be switching the
function or the front and rear control dials as it changes modes. But
that has spurred me to shoot in manual mode about 95% of the time which
is probably a good thing. The camera's saving grace is that it takes
damned good pictures.
