I agree it is sort of a bastard device regarding the UX, especially if you're all 7900 otherwise. The buttons and menus are a bit different, but they are not consistent across the whole product line anyways. It is reasonably simple to explain the functions to the user, or show them the flash tutorials, etc, to get an idea on how to do what they want. In the past, however, we'd printed step-by-step guides that just don't carry over to these devices - I feel like that's a thing of the past anyways.<br>
