A 35mm camera is all about speed... Shooting very fast. Photography fortunately is not philosophy or theoretical physics. Its tangible results. And those results are photographs which you can hold in your hand or look at on the wall or a Bing or Google contact sheet search. They are a matter of public record. You really think when you see a shot of anything on the news or street shooting you are looking at a photographer whose set the shutter speed and f stop for that particular picture. And iso? And my photographs and the photographs of the vast majority of shooters all using various auto modes are matter of record. All you have to do is look at them. And do to that you by contact sheet Binging or Goggling them. Shooting a camera it in the foot by disabling its main features is only smart a vast non majority of the time... Even when you're shooting a thing standing still you're in a fast moving situation because YOU are fast moving. If you're slow moving use a Rolleiflex or a view camera. At full manual. Oh and its great John turned off the auto ISO the minute he got his new camera we'd not want to have him confused dealing with something new.
