I shoot in program mode and find it quite easy to rotate that wheel right in front the shutter button to get the exposures I want.

Rotate the knob on top to get either TV or AV priority. I rarely use the menu settings.

The new 5D has a rather unique feature... when you pull your face away from the camera, the settings screen lights, as you put your eye in the viewfinder, the screen blacks out.

I also use a Canon point and shoot... Pretty pleased with it, except for the time to boot up... during which I miss all the dolphin shots. GRIN.
