You seem to have a higher opinion of 'experts' than I.
Though probably a few different digital 'skins' would make em happy.
(And, you know, why not. If I could have my K20 occasionally say in like the voice of Kitt "At current rate of consumption, there are thirty six exposures left on this memory card," Well, it's a fun idea. Yeah, it wouldn't last long, but, hey. Computers.

I actually appreciate the font on there, not to disparage anyone else's, ... it seems tech-people complain about the look, but it's very legible at a glance and it's distinct from anything else you might be looking at around you. Maybe it *looks* a little Mickey-mouse, to some, and I wouldn't want to put it on my wall, but it has a good quality of looking different for when you're inevitably multitasking, as the words stand out. I often find my concentration a little strained, and it works, is all. There's some things I'd have them rearrange, but overall, when you're photographing, you aren't looking *at* the display, you're *using* it.
