Moose,
Thanks for looking. With over 50 years of using Leica LTM, then Exacta,
then Pentax Spotmatic, my only previous experience with auto-everything was
with small digital P&S cameras. I bought the E-510 because it gave me a way
to experience the latest trend, but was backwardly compatible with some of
my old equipment. I still use manual settings when I need them, but have
found the camera can often make better choices than I can.
