Though there are plenty of direct controls, you can access almost every setting from the Quick Navigation display on the LCD. Sony has nicely beefed up its in-camera Creative Style settings (2), giving you the ability to start with a preset (1) and change the individual parameters to suit your taste. Additionally, a new Advanced Dynamic Range Optimizer setting (3) lets you tweak the DRO settings and save three custom versions.

The joystick is a great improvement over the navigation control used by the A100. It seems to be the same size as that of the 40D's, but it extends farther from the body and has a bigger surround, so it's more comfortable to use.
