Well, not a shoot goes by that I don't curse the interface on the CC. If you're dead-set against a connected system, let me offer two specific improvements that could probably be accomplished in firmware:
The main menu screen cursor is moved by one stick or the other. I can never remember which one I'm supposed to move, and sometimes I have to push up when I want it to go left. List the choices in a column above the stick that moves it, for heaven't sake. Up, down.
The light setup screen has one stick for "parameter" and one for "setting". Mildly confusing, but worse, the screen cursor for each stick is the same color. Make one cursor blue and one red, put red & blue markers above the respective sticks.
I don't have my CC at hand, this is just recalled from my nightmares. But it's just basic interface design, I'm sure somebody more competent could suggest further improvements.
Bob, I find the CC extremely simple to use. There is not much at all to "remember" as far as stick functions go. I'm a little surprised that anyone would complain when the CC interface was clearly designed with simplicity in mind. I'm sure if you spend a little more time with it, you will memorize the stick functions quite easily and not curse anymore as it becomes second nature for you.
