Control Panel on the Canon D30?

Such control panels are typically seen only on cameras that are aimed at professionals or photography enthusiasts, such as the D30. The secondary display on top of the camera body is naturally smaller than the rear LCD, which remains the main screen for adjusting menu settings and reviewing images.
