Well "blown away" because it means there's an auto-exposure system that is 
so up
to its task that you use it virtually all the time! I can't imagine a better
recommendation, Ted. 

I mean, isn't great design one that just WORKS without thinking about it?
Trouble is, we seldom get great design these days. Complexity is substituted
because great design takes lots and lots of work, understanding of the 
problem,
and insight. These are rare.

Thanks for your response.
