Yeah, me too.

OTOH my Canon EOS "Auto-Everything" Elan 7 has both - extreme bells and 
whistles and electronic doo-dads (for whoever wants them) AND extreme 
simplicity (in the "Auto" mode.)

(When was the last time you used a Leica for portraits or still life 
without at least FOCUSSING the camera?)

Cheers ;-)
