Aperture preffered was always more Popular than shutter preferred, probably Because it controls DOF better than Shutter preffered does. Many many SLRs Had it while few offered shutter priority. Can you name a single camera that only Had shutter priority? ( not just an addition To aperture priority) jco

I happen to like Program mode for when I want to do mindless snapshooting and shutter preferred auto when I want an automatic exposure mode. K/M lenses support none of the above automation functions. Aperture preferred auto is something I never use anymore, and something I only used out of desperation when it was the only automatic exposure choice I had.
