Why do you think that you don't have full control of a modern camera? Have
you only looked at low end models designed for casual use?

I beg to differ with that. I've seen some seriously disappointing results
letting an uncontrollable pre-programmed machine automagically decide what
it will do . . . utterly contrary to where I want critical focus, how much
density is desired, and where that density level will be placed in the
photograph.
It's all about control, control, control, control, control and more control
. . . by the *photographer* . . . to achieve the exact mental vision for
the finished photograph made in advance of even touching any camera
gear. You *cannot* do that reliniquishing control of it to pre-programmed
automagic. It produces someone else's "vision" for the photograph as
predetermined months, if not years beforehand, and utterly frustrates
creativity.
