Hi Doug,
I meant - no harm intended - who under 40 and willing to travel would 
buy a camera NEW, without AE as one of its features..
As for easy ISO manual setting, I couldn't agree more, but only for 
myself who hates remote-controls, cellular phone, automatic gear shift 
in cars, etc.

Yours
Phil...x
