equipment recommendation - DSLRs with separate controls for aperture and shutter?


I just bought a Nikon D3200 DSLR and I'm going to return it. It's fine if you always want to use in fully automatic mode, but in Manual mode, it's much less convenient. You have to set the shutter speed using this little thumb wheel, and then press and hold another button and use the same wheel to set the aperture, all while looking at the feature screen, which is set to go dark too fast (and I can't find where to reset that go-dark setting).



Does anyone know offhand which DSLRs (if any) under $1000 have a single, separate, dedicated ring or wheel for setting aperture and a separate dedicated control for setting the shutter?


I am really missing my old Nikon FE2, with an aperture ring and a knob on top to set the shutter speed.
