It's just an "on" button and "auto". And with several hundred million people--if not more than a billion-- armed with a wide variety of cameras, someone will be there.

A simple clear example of supply and demand. The demand is still there, but the supply is much much larger because technology has put an idiot-proof camera of adequate quality in every pocket. There will always be a professional niche for exceptional work - but I emphasize both 'niche' and 'exceptional'. Doug Herr Birdman of Sacramento http://www.wildlightphoto.com
