Would it kill the camera companies to come out with a DSLR that didn't require a couple of hours to learn the controls?
Basically, a digital version of the Pentax K1000. With that many controls.
Because you know, that? I'd buy that. The overcomplicated shit they sell now? No fucking way. Just gimme something that I can set shutter speed, "film" speed, f-stop, focus, and optionally zoom, then push the button and take the goddamned picture. No "modes", no craptacular UI on a wee tiny LCD screen.
For what they're charging for DSLRs, and as over-complicated as they are, the damned things should take the picture for me, without me even knowing there was a picture to be taken.
