And there is a place for this type of camera, just like there is
a place for cameras such as the MZ-S or its competitors. There
are people out there who truly need the automation or now the
digitalization to get the job done.
But that is not most of us. At least, I don't think it is.
Sometimes, though, I think people get caught up in the "must
have" marketing hype, and forget about what it is about what
they do that matters.
For myself, controlling every step of the photographic process
is important. This is why I tend to use simple cameras, and I
suspect it is why I became a photofinisher for a living. God
knows, it wasn't for the paycheque.
