I agree with Felix. The Canon 1D2 I have has lots of features, but I do 
not feel they get in my way. I have set up the camera the way I like it, 
and hardly ever change any settings except the aperture (I shoot mostly 
in aperture-priority) and ISO. Occasionally I put the camera on manual 
in which case I obviously adjust shutter speed as well. The way I use 
this camera it is no more complicated to operate than a film camera, 
except that changing film type is replaced by pressing two buttons and 
turning a wheel.
