So William are you now trying to say that no one cares whether a camera is smart and user friedly or dumb and a pain in the ass to use? And btw, compatiablity is not the issue, K/M lens support isnt incompatible with any of the other later lens series. This is non support issue with of millions of lenses because of a stupid camera design missing a cheap simple part that would make it much more intelligent camera and free the photographer to concentrate on more important things like taking photos instead of pushing buttons that don't need pushing.

Don't overstate the importance of something like this. You are talking about a number that is so statistically insignificant that it may as well be zero (no one). Sort of like the number of people that feel ripped about Pentax and their DSLR compatability "issue". Once a number falls below a certain threshold, it may as well be zero. William Robb
