Now you've hit on a different problem, Lin. Photography concepts are really not that hard. But learning how to operate your individual camera can be. I have been into photography for nearly 40 years and have a pretty good grasp of how things work. It was fairly simple with film cameras but trying to figure out all the features on a digital and how to navigated all the menus, that's a pain. I don't think the designers ever use a camera out in the real world.

I feel the same way. Every time I pick up my very nice dslr, I miss my Olympus OM-1 in the worst way. I think a camera company that could make a digital camera as simply elegant as that one was would make a killing. The problem is I've been seduced by all the digital wizardry, and being free of film and processing costs.

I am exploring the use of my iphone, some people are making serious photos with them.
