All of them did what they were told, and nothing else. While it did mean you have to really know your stuff to get a photo right, it also meant that you know the camera would do as your intentions told it to. Now with auto-everything cameras, and digital sensors thrown into the mix, UI and egronomics are more important than ever. Cameras don't always do as you'd think they do, or they don't tell you what they're going to do."</i><br /><br />Digital Media Thoughts regular Lee Yuan Sheng has <a href="http://www.digitalmediathoughts.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=7278">written a thought-provoking post in our forums</a> - give it a read and respond with your pet-peeves.
