Yeah, I know -- intuitive interfaces are overrated.
You wouldn't know it from reading advertising copy,
but many people actually have the capacity to learn
how to do things. The intuitive interface that was
easier to use when you didn't know what you were
doing just gets in your way after you've figured
out what's going on.
That's a minority viewpoint, though. Witness the
success of Windows and Mac computers, when Unix is
100 times more user-friendly ;-)
In the end, it's just a matter of personal preference,
there's a camera for everybody, and the N70 provides
a pretty good entry into the world of 'real' cameras.
Besides, it's not smart to start a holy war when you're
outnumbered by the philistines.
