I have an aging 70D and I find shooting on Manual particularly tricky when I want to change aperture -- I always fumble counter-rotating the shutter-speed dial to keep my exposure constant. I'm considering upgrade options and wondering if there's a feature of a newer camera that makes this easier.
In my dreams I press the exposure lock button, spin the aperture control dial, and it changes the shutter-speed (and/or ISO) for me. (Curiously on my 70D pressing the AE lock button in Manual actually swaps the roles of my dials between shutter-speed and aperture).
I read about Canon's new Fv mode but as far as I can tell it's not at all what I'm looking for -- I want to lock in my exposure and then change Aperture and let counter-adjust the ISO & shutter-speed automatically. Is this crazy? Is there another way I should be doing this?
