Do you miss the usual dials on your dashboard when driving a car that has digital tachometer, speedometer? Do you miss having a key to open the doors of your car, and to start your engine? Do you miss receiving a telegram from your distant relatives, versus today's instant messaging?

Do you miss the point?

Welcome to the second generation of digital photography. You are the one missing the point.

The transition to modern mirrorless from your jurassic DSLR is not meant to be easy on people who may have developed stubborn resistance to make their muscle memories more malleable. That you are holding your decision hostage by that feature you are so afraid to miss is only at the expense of benefiting from better, faster, more sophisticated yet overall easier to operate cameras.

It's like demanding the return of physical keyboards in the iPhone or whatever popular Android smartphone is out there. Craving for dial up internet versus today's fiber because you miss the sound it makes when connecting.

That's pretty funny. Of all the sounds that old technology made, that's the one I miss the least!

OMG too funny! I’ll forever associate that dial-up modem sound with PAIN PAIN PAIN!

Made my kid listen to it from an old recording, and he said, "It sounds like a scene from some horror movie."

The sound of my youth was the ZX Spectrum loading, or failing to load with “ R, Tape Loading Error”
