Thanks for your comments. 

Of course I believe, that she takes great pictures, since it
always depends on the photographer, not on the camera.

Unfortunately, I'm a little arrogant - any camera with an 
electronic shutter is an automatic to/for me.

They say "bye bye, picture", when the battery is down.

That's one of the reasons, I'd always select an SL, SL2 or R 6.2
instead of an auto-xx, if I'd buy an SLR Leica.

Concerning AF lenses - remember the AF Lady Bird picture of Marvin 
Moss's wife with the unsharp tiger in the background ? :)
