So far I’m loving it. Being a total novice with the device I’ve spent most of my time in full auto mode with some dabbling with scene mode.
I’ve been slowly reading the help manual but it’s like 500 pages so it’s taking some time. I’m finally into the more useful parts now.
I’ve hit some frustration with auto focus trying to get it to focus where *I* want so it’s time for me to branch out more into manual mode land. It’s a slow process for me trying to learn about all the functionality... and there is a *ton* !
I take it with me almost everywhere, experimenting whenever I can. Having fun learning and pretty amazed at what it can do so far.
It started out at about 17 degrees at 7:30 at the bottom of the canyon. By the time I got up on top I had shed my fleece jacket and unbuttoned/unzipped my base layer and shirt. Amazing what a little sunshine and a good workout can do
I'm not a purist I guess, because I almost always shoot AP. Will add that these new cameras have such good s/w that sometimes I get better shots in full auto mode than manual.
I thought you were referring to this new camera, which he just got, so no way he would be wishing that. Yes, manual's been around longer than auto, for sure, even a pinhole camera would require manual mode.

During this super moon thing I found myself a long way from home with only my wife's 7 year old Rebel and not the first clue how to work it. Man Auto mode is just crippling.
