Hi gang,

Photography today is like shooting a semi-automatic pistol.  If you
point it in the right direction and putt the trigger enough times,
sooner or later you will hit the target.  That's how it works...20,000
gang members can't be wrong.

The same is true with an auto-everything camera.  If you point your F5
(or what ever) in the right direction and push the shutter release
enough times, you will come out with an 'acceptable' picture. (you
have 36 chances)

Then you take this 'acceptable' picture and run it through PhotoShop
and presto, an image good enough to publish.

I don't believe that the market for good photography is dead, but it's
vital signs are weak.
