> "... but rather how the camera works. Digital cameras have so much distracting/confusing crap on them." One thing I always miss about the film days is the utter simplicity of film equipment vs. digital. Traveling was so much easier in the old days. In the carry-on just needed to pack a couple of camera bodies, a few lenses, stash of film and optionally, a flash. With digital it's necessary to keep track of a daunting armload of chargers, cables, spare batteries, SD cards as well as bodies, lenses and flash. And of course, just about have to pack a computer to do something with the images, after all we paid for the capabilities and damn it, we're gonna use 'em.
