We seem to be mostly in tune this week, Mike. :-)

An unappealing "feature" to me. If I want a grip, which I don't, I'll add it 
myself thank you very much.

Another unappealing "feature" of many these plates and brackets is the assumption that everyone wants a (not all that) quick release. I just don't want another chunk on my camera.

I tend to have exactly the sort of problems Tina describes when using it casually; grab out of pocket, bag, etc., point and shoot and Oops! The Mode sets itself at random sometimes.
...the only problem is when a pocket, bag, strap, or some such external changes
settings, and the camera can't tell the difference.
Me three. I think we need a fingerprint ID system.

I think my new iPhone can take my fingerprint, but I don't feel we are as yet 
close enough for that kind of intimacy.

And I have to admit, my 'big' cameras have small, light QR plates on them. The Velbon plates are far less intrusive than A-S style - and actually quick to use.

A-S trades off speed for the solidity larger, heavier equipment needs. They are certainly quicker than tripod threads, and rock solid. Semi QR?
