rambling? maybe, but you ramble very coherently.

Yes, but auto-everything cameras in the hands of someone who knows how to
use a fully manual camera can be an even more formidable weapon. Remember
that there is no requirement to use the automation. However, if the body
has none, there is no possibility to use it in the right situation. Case in
point - I grew up on fully manual cameras for the first 15 years of use. I
like manual everything - however, there are times when the autofocus can
help me to get pictures that I would have a much higher failure rate
manually. Same holds true for autoexposure. Sure, someone who knows
nothing can snap a pic, but someone who does know something can really work
it to their advantage. Another classic bit of automation is TTL flash and
auto flash fill. I have done it both ways, and the old way sucks! Knowing
and understanding how to apply the flash fill is still very important, but
letting the camera quickly do the math is much better.
