Well, if they put them into full auto mode, the pictures should be pretty sharp and well exposed. The days of photography courses that insist on fully manual cameras for the students are pretty much over. I've seen messages posted here that support doing that because it frees the mind to concentrate on the subject and the composition. I never argue with folks that say things like that because they are entitled to their point of view. And, lately, I've been concentrating on avoiding trivial arguments. Bear with me though, because sometimes I forget. :)
