yet another 0.02 worth.  the Pentax ME Super series of cameras don't have
a shutter speed dial.  they all use buttons to cycle the shutter speed
up and down when in shutter priority or manual mode.  i have used
one enough to find that the difference is marginal in convenience.
the othe Pentax models use the traditional shutter speed dial and it
is too hard to turn with one finger so the aperture ring is more
convenient to use.
