I have to say that I agree that shitter speed control is sometimes very important, though the idea of controlling it \"manually\" raises a few questions... ;-)

Yet, it seems to me that the meaning of the technical measurements and features is relative to their usefulness for \"that\" — the creation of photographs. It only matters that X has .1% more of Y to the extent that Y results in improvements in photographs. It is just about impossible — and certainly quite meaningless — to evaluate the technologies of photography without practical reference to their actual effects on the qualities that we value in photographs.

To my way of thinking, to do otherwise would be equivalent to having a forum on cooking gear that didn\'t care what the food tastes like.
