2 The rear screen uses large, simple icons and large type to produce an unusually straightforward and visible set of controls.
3 The X1D has an electronic viewfinder; the resolution of 2.6 million dots means it’s crisp and clear.
4 The control layout is refreshingly simple. The main mode dial is spring-loaded – press it down to lock it flush with the top plate.
