My first reaction would be to disable anything that took control
away from me.

Agreed. I've got a 1977 Nikon F2 and I've no plans to change it. At
least half the enjoyment is fumbling around with things like shutter
speed, aperture, depth of field and focus AFAIC.


To me, the perfect gift would be a digital pack to fit onto my Olympus
OM-2 to replace the 35mm film.


Film! As yes, I remember that. Fumble about loading, winding on, send to
chemist, wait a week, get 4 out of 36 useless, stick them in albums.

I'm ging to miss that. Not.


The Coolpix comes with a small internal memory so I decided to buy and
SD card. Me, being me, I went for the biggest one the shop had. It
holds around 8,000 photo's!


Or wait a year to use up the 36 exposures
