It'll be a rare event for most *ists to be moved off an autoexposure mode in favour of manual exposure. We here are representatives of a rare breed of photographer who like to take control back from the camera. That single dial might get wound off its bearings in the hands of one of us, but I have a strong feeling that on most *ists it will be the least used part of the interface.
