Be real. The fact is that this is the way all the modern cameras, new
Panasonic L1 excepted, are being designed. If you don't like it,
you're out of luck because you won't be able to buy anything in the
future that works the way you like.
Why are lenses being designed without aperture rings anyway?
Cost?
Yes, but not just parts cost: in the past several years a huge number
of cameras have come in to repair departments from casual users (who
represent the vast majority of buyers) who just took the lens off the
"A" setting and didn't know why things weren't working any more. I
have seen it first hand when I worked at the photo shop.
I started to laugh, and then remembered the trouble I had to get a
powerzoom FA lens to zoom on a non powerzoom camera... To my defense: the
lens did not come with the manual.
