I too think the menus on the E3 (and frankly, on most digicams) are
counterintuitive and quirky. But for me it is simple: I just set the thing up,
once: single AF point in the middle, RAW only, auto ISO, aperture priority.
Once done, I basically never have to touch the menu again.
Shooting digital is no more complicated for me than it was shooting film,
except that I do not need to change film when I want to change ISO.
