My job is to press the button at the right time and the camera's job is to not get in my way. I press. It captures. My main requirement for a camera is to do what I want it to do when I want it to. I am annoyed by cameras with buttons on the front, buttons and toggles all over the back, on the sides. Panels here and panels there. Extra screens. Things to pre-program and tehn re-program for something else later. Very distracting when it comes to my timing. I suppose one could take 10x more photos to overcome all that distraction. But then, it isn't really about timing anymore, is it? I just need one button most of the time -- the shutter release -- and one screen -- the viewfinder -- that allows me to see the moment when I press the one button. For me, only the film Leica M truly fulfills my requirements. Emanuel
