I said no such absolute thing. I said it was true under all sorts 
of regular conditions. To understand this you need to understand 
the world and people and normal aims and conveniences.

Like get much more crap to fill peoples drawers when they collect 
them from the chemist. Because it is so much easier to shoot more.

You can arrange anything to continue your myopic pissing 
competition points. In general, many good manual SLRs were 
quicker to use than modern SLRs that can be set to use manual 
from among the million other things you can set them for. They 
are not yet in general as quick to adjust to differn condityions 
in a practical set of shoots over time.

I am not talking pictures on wall full stop. Do you have a manual

Well, this remark just shows your gift for misunderstanding. I 
use PS everyday and it has never produced a single hard picture

You really are quite an idiot aren't you?
