Mostly I work in one of the "creative zone" modes with autofocus on but set to either shutter or aperture priority. There are a zillion different modes. In full auto, and in reasonable light, you can point and shoot without thinking. You can set it to auto-bracket exposures etc. It's big. The lens is big. It's quiet - no film to move around. I recommend playing with one if you get the chance. You can chose to record to memory in raw form or a variety of JPEG sizes. For pulling things into video its great. Now I'm putting B&W in my M6-TTL and getting on with the craft. The M6 is lighter, smaller, and somehow even less work than the D30. I get to do the thinking, the controls are incredibly simple, and if something doesn't come out I've learned more about photography. Now I get to learn about darkrooms, hehehe. Mixing up my first batch of chemicals this afternoon! Best regards, Adam Bridge
