Every time I have bought a DSLR, I set it up the way I like it: shoot RAW, use only the center focus point, aperture priority. And that's it. From then on, the only controls I need to touch are the aperture selection (a thumbwheel) and changing the ISO when the light changes. I don't mess around with white balance or anything like that. I simply do not see any reason why I would ever shoot a roll of 35mm again. The results from my DSLR are better, I do not need to carry a bunch of film around, and I do not need to play with chemicals (or pay someone else to do it).
