The joystick is a great addition it is so much better and easier to use than the stupid control pad which provides poor controls.
Touch screen is a +/- thing depending on what you like. On my D850/D500 I find it is useful for review but more of a gimmick!


I still can't get used to the joystick. I either accidentally move the focus point with my thumb or forget I moved it deliberately when I come to take the next shot.

I must be using it wrong because I have always found it takes much longer to move the focus spot to the subject and then back for the next shot( which may be on the other extreme side of the viewfinder) than centre focus locking the subject and reframing each time.o.O

That's especially true photographing moving subjects where you need to keep space around the subject to keep them in frame.
