I didn't mention autofocus because I generally use manual primes and don't even try to shoot moving subjects, so it's not really an issue for me.

Single-dial consumer cameras are annoying, I also generally really like to have a physical exposure comp wheel, good Sony and Fuji cameras generally have one (and my old Contax G2 does, too), while it tends to be some bad modal "hold the button and turn the wheel" affair on Nikon and Canon ones.

"Scene mode" dials are basically a helpful hint to let you know that you shouldn't buy that camera.
