Well, Kevin, I guess what I see as the problem is that most
of the young hot shots don't believe you can make good
pictures without all that automation. I remember reading a
SF story long ago in which the hero figured out how to
divide with a calculator. No one believed him. That is the
way we seem to be heading. But remember I did not say you
shouldn't use a full featured automatic camera, I said using
one makes me lazy.
And watch that "PRO" stuff. If you want me to do photos for
you, I charge $100 an hour. That makes me a pro. It does not
mean I am a better photographer than you.
