True about the dials. But it is still much better than no weather seals. In relation to the battery compartment. I was told that the new battery grip will have weather sealing.
LOOK,
It appears to be wider than the 20D, yet lighter. In addition the ergonomics are much improved. It sits in your hand very comfortably with some grooves on the right hand side.
LCD:
The screen is the first thing you spot, it really is a whole lot larger and brighter than the 20D or 30D.
MENU:
The menu layout has changed, making it a lot easier to navigate through all the options. It is based on the 1D layout, colour coded. up down and across
VIEWFINDER:
The viewfinder seems a lot better and brighter than the 20D you can easily read all the settings (appear to be magnified) and it also lists ISO speed (great if using the camera after a lowlight session)
WEATHERPROOFING:
There are Weather seals on all doors and connections, which is great news.
