That's just how some folks do their thing. Simple like without a thought.

It's kind of like I've been trying to explain for sometime about digital.
And the results I have just by turning it on, taking my pictures and people
suck their breathe at the results in dis-belief that it's digital because
they look so beautiful!

A sort of point. You may re-call a few weeks ago I had several photographs
sold for $750.00 each. A couple more have gone since, one of them a 13X19
flower picture shot with a 20D and Leica 80mm 1.4 lens and everything set on
automatic! :-) Just look through viewfinder, focus and go "click!" So maybe
you might understand why I have so much difficulty dealing with all the
technical stuff. Bottom line still is, the client is happy with the results
and buys. And I'm happy all the way to the bank. :-) KISS simple! :-)

And as most of you know I don't have a clue about technical stuff, certainly
the posts of the past week about all kinds of "corrective stuff" for what
appears to be, maybe, problems with the M8 recording mechanism. Or whatever.

There must have been 250 suggestions, if not more about how to fix the
perceived problems. Many by what appear by people who haven't even had the
camera in hand or if so, merely a few minutes in a shop.

But I want you to know this isn't a complaint by moi, merely an observation
of interest because when I get my M8's they'll be turned on, ASA set and
away I'll go! Taking pictures as free as a bird and as long as they look
cool?  Hey,  I'm KISS happy! :-)
