People using digital cameras, regardless of how good or how bad they might be, need an adjustable aperture to control depth of field and depth of focus. It's also a cheap way to not overload the dynamic range of the sensor. The manufacturers know this, the purpose of the camera is to make pictures and you have to use DOF to do it, thus all digital cameras (and video cameras) made currently have them. Godfrey
