Oh, good grief again! I feel the new cameras are already too cluttered
with controls and gizmos. The left hand is supposed to focus and steady the
camera for the shot. Even if your not using it to touch up focus, getting a
steady camera when hand holding is a left hand thing.
Besides, how can one focus one's mind on the shot (which after all is
the most important thing), if one's playing with both hands? Seriously, you
should try and concentrate on the shot, keep your hands steady. That's what
EOS is all about freeing up your hands and using your mind for the image.
And that's why I feel enough is enough, or that already we got too much
going on, on the cameras. Makes too many fiddlers, not enough real
photographers left. The controls you need should be there, but they're there
for setting up the camera. Once setup, you should hot have to take your eyes
off the finder, nor fiddle your fingers.
