In that respect I think the Nikon D80 lens changeover is a hassle .. the 
button's not easy and I've a tamron lens that doesn't have the dot so I 
have to work it out every time. I've big hands and I think the whole 
thing's finicky: things like manual exposure settings, the wheel doesn't 
feel very ergonomic, and white balance setting's a faff too. From that 
pov I wouldn't recommend buying one unless you've tried it in the shop 
first.
