Emanual:

"The gear keeps getting more and more and more complex, the operation of the 
camera keeps demanding more and more choices and decisions, the weight & 
size we carry around our necks grows ever more, yet the result -- the final 
image -- remains what it always has been. 

So what is all the complexity for, exactly? I look at a 1925 Leica 1(a) and 
smile at its miniature simplicity. Form and function in perfect Zen-like 
harmony. "


A great point you've stated above. More complexity, more $$$, more weight, 
more learning curves, more grief in trying to keep up with the latest and 
supposedly greatest, when you can grab a lightweight body and a lens, go for 
a walk and enjoy the outing very simply.
