so are all cameras, really, digital or otherwise. All the rest is bells and
whistles.

I can't remember, was it George L who said on this forum that all cameras
are ultimately point and shoot devices, even 4x5? That is SO completely

you're not doing that, then you haven't transferred enough of the technical
details into the other side of your brain yet IMO.
