Although its taken a long time to get that simpler - my D200X has no

Sounds like a truly KING-SIZED PITA to me!

It is. At least till I managed to get it to 'spot on the centre please'
and then I just hold focus with shutter half down and then compose the shot.

That the point - digital technology has gone in leaps and bounds but
usability is only just catching up.

I.e. the histograms are there, but are a pain - a little bit of 'I just
reduced exposure to avoid white out' would help.

The digital technology is great - lenses are better and the CCDS are
better than they ever were and film ever was, but the deskilling of it
all is taking time.

And Nikon are not the leaders in that - I think Canon do better.
