I don't have an issue with the placement of the EV Comp dial, but I do have an issue with how tight it is on the new X cameras; I can barely move it with my thumb while holding the camera steady to my eye, and when I do, I'm never sure how much I moved it because I generally overshoot. And no, Godfrey, you can't reassign this to another dial. Related to this issue is the shutter speed dial, which is even tighter, making it impossible for me to shoot in Tv mode (unless I'm happy picking a single speed and not changing it dynamically in real time as I shoot).
