Like I tell my wife, my smart phone is a computer that makes phone calls. My 1st DSLR is a computer that takes pictures.While I realize all these settings and syncing may be advantageous as I learn everything, if I just go manual all the way I bypass all the bells and whistles and can begin shooting. Same with the first flash unit I purchased..settings, settings, sync, buttons, etc. I just put that on manual too and began shooting. I guess if I really learn all this technology I can sync my camera to cook a turkey, start my car in the winter, and order take out.
I am learning, but is there anyone else who thinks this way? You be the computer that runs the show...?

Manual has its place, but so do all of he other modes. It just depends on the situation, type of shot, and preference of the photographer.
