Hi--
It's amazing how many deaf ears this sort of thing falls on, though -
people want to believe the advertising, and that their new camera
can now take over the drudgery of (formerly) manual exposure and focus.
But I keep preaching...... (Why not add what you wrote above as a
follow-up to my post? I think it would be useful....., maybe.)
