While you're within reason to expect a robocamera to work robomiracles, it 
seems somewhat perverse to insist that it perform these miracles while working 
with three-decade-old lenses.  No matter what you believe, your MZ body is also 
crippled with these lenses, just not as obviously.

As to wee buttons and menus -- what are you talking about?  Oh, right, more 
complaints about the significantly smarter and easier to use implementation of 
common functions from someone who hasn't used the camera.

I realize that you feel no one else in the universe is qualified to design a 
camera interface, but perhaps you should look at the camera before declaring 
that it's no good?

When I first used an ME Super, I thought its controls were a disastrous 
miscalculation.  After two weeks, I couldn't to back to a top-mounted dial for 
shutter speed.  Everyone did it forever, but you know what?  The top-mounted 
dial is a terrible control mechanism for a camera!

The DS2 is remarkably well thought out for shooting.  I realized today that I 
never need to look at the top of the camera for anything aside from exposure 
mode.  If the top LCD was broken it would probablyvtake me weeks to notice.  
It's superfluous, but it's there to placate those accustomed to looking at the 
top of their cameras.

I'm not sure why there's a chip on your shoulder because some people have 
a preference for doing things they way they always have, and because some 
people don't like to give up features and methods that have worked across 
teh board so we can fidget with wee little buttons and menus.
