Compared to all the fuzz about AE back in the eighties and nineties, when AE was still developed intensively, I guess the manual exposure control (presing the green button/DOF button) would have been af a big issue.
I remeber adds that in fact said, that if a white car drives "through" your viewfinder, while shooting, the camera will stop down further (is this really an advantage??) in fractions of a second. This is how accurate AE has become. That is OK, of course, but in my experience stopping down manually ios not a big issue as long as I remember to do just that, just before I release the shutter. Any exposure should be evaluated by the photographer anyway - in order to assess back lit scenery, dark background, very bright sky etc. regardless of matrix metering etc. It would of course have been even better if the *ist D/DS worked "normally" in Av mode, utilizing an aperture simulater, which was not put in the recent Pentax cameras. But make no mistakes, K and M lenses can very well still be used with very fine results. For casual snap shooting, I do prefere using an A or FA lens, of course.
