Just so Jim, just so :-) - Auto is so good. That is what frustrates
about my digital camera (G5): it is so much more difficult to get a
shot if Auto is not going to be good enough... and that is before you
take into account the delay when pressing the shutter button.
As an aside, taking photos from a noisy little aircraft is much more
difficult with the G5, owing to its lack of shutter noise its
automatics - you don't know how far you have got in the process of
focusing and taking the photo. The OMs are just loud enough (or is it
the vibration in the camera) for you to know that you have taken the
shot - oh, and the mirror comes up ;-)
