Seems to me Epson have missed a trick with the R-D1.
If you're like me, you have the user definable button set to Magnify. In magnify mode, you can use the "jog control" to zoom in and out; to shift left and right, you have to lift the jog control and turn it; to shift up and down, you have to lift the jog control, press another button and again turn it.
Sounds unnecessarily complicated? It is.
There's also the great little 3 position centre-biased switch which is used to adjust resolution and white balance.
It would be much better if this switch's 3 positions could be used to select what happens when you use the jog control in magnify mode:
- Shift Up and Down
- Zoom In and Out
- Shift Left and Right
You could then use your left index finger to adjust the jog control and your right thumb to select which of the 3 directions you want to move, "X", "Y" or "Z".
All that would make reviewing the image in detail the easiest of any camera I've come across.

Or perhaps the R-D1 wasn't quite intended to be a "digital" camera.
