Hi JK
I thought that might have been the case with Robert and the D700.

Indeed it was, no question, BUT, when these controls are buried several layers down, either in the menus or obscure buttons, sometimes it can be very vexing when the setting gets in the way.
Last year, when I met JK at Westernbirt, The National Arboretum, my D200 had an annoying trait, the exposure was slightly delayed. Not the end of the world but annoying non the less. Neither JK nor I could figure what was wrong, if indeed there was anything wrong, the exposures were OK. When I got home I realised I had set a delay on the shutter when I had been using a tripod, it delays slightly after the mirror has lifted, to allow any vibrations to subside before releasing the shutter.
So it does happen even with a camera you are fairly familiar with. The easier these functions are to find the better.
This is one reason why I have just about stopped using my D1 and D1x's because the access to the menus are so obscure and I can't begin to remember the setting codes for the D1.
