Can you reverse the ring and rear wheel settings in Manual mode? I'd like to use the wheel for aperture and the ring for shutter speed, but cannot see how to do that unless I change the ring function to be permanently shutter speed in all modes. I may have missed how to do this in the manual...

Have fun and post some shots on your return.

Thanks all, she is going with the X10.

My 19 year old daughter is going for her first trip to New York in March and doesn't want to transport, or walk around with, much gear. The options are compact and/or DSLR + lens/es e.g. Fuji X10 for convenience and being inconspicuous. Sony A57 with Sigma 17-70mm and/or Sigma 10-20mm. I feel...

Thanks to those who replied. I've got the shop to get another camera in to compare.

Hi, I've just got the above with the 16-50mm 2.8 lens as an upgrade to my A57, and wanted to check if the following were normal as I've spent all my savings and more on it! - joystick a but loose/rattly, seems like it should be more securely attached, but works fine - seems to eat batteries...
