Nobody in particular ...
I have been thinking about the GF2 and one of the criticisms (even by me) is that it does not have a mode dial on the top.
The more I thought about it the more I realized I almost never use it. I set it to aperture priority and that is it on my G1 and GF1. I never use shutter priority, IA, program, scenery, etc. I can make all of the adjustments I need through the finger wheel controls. Everything else is post processing in Lightroom.
The only mode beside aperture priority I have used at all is the manual mode once or twice in 7 months.
So what are the opinions out there? Can we live without the dial? Do you really use it when you go out shooting? Or is it a critical part if your shooting regimen?
