Mr Ling, I agree with you and with the progress of technology in AF camera
people tends to rely too much w/o bothering to learn the basics in
photography. So I won't be surprise if they don't even know how to load film
properly into a manual camera and I feel sad for them.


Cheers
Jim Teo

| To answer in shot, yes! At the beginning when one are not familiar with
| their DC, most of them will check the LCD every time after the shot, this
is
| especially true for the P&S type DC. I also did that with my E-10 before I
| bought a 340MB IBM microdrive. Since I only got a 32MB SM, I need to check
| if the previous shot is okay, if not, delete it and re-shoot.
|
| But now I have lots of "film" and the E-10 has a TTL finder, there is
almost
| no different with a normal SLR, everything is under control even the
| focusing can be verified in the finder (it is not possible with LCD). I
| start to treat my E-10 as film camera and shoot normally. I found it works
| well, but even I don't check the LCD ever time, I did shot much more. In
the
| pass with the same object and same composition I will not take more than
one
| shot, now I may take more if I suspect the previous one may have focusing
or
| hand shaking problem. I don't think I will make a shoot without thinking
too
| much. Although the waste or duplicated frame will be more but it cost
| nothing. On the other hand with a DC I no longer need to wait two or three
| weeks to complete a roll of 35mm film to see the result.
|
| Actually one can improve their photo technique faster with a DC if they
use
| it properly. If they just use it as P&S then no one can help. I found lots
| of young people has very weak technique background, they don't even know
how
| the shutter and aperture related and their uses, they just use their auto
| everything AF camera, mighty zoom lens and very happily showing their
sharp
| pictures, without knowing how to do real photography.
