I have cameras with M, AM (M*nolta, inherited) and PASM (C*n*n P&S). At first I 
thought that I would have preferred S to A, but having considered tha matter 
and used A quite a bit, I find they are equivalent. Given subject, lighting and 
film ISO, the relationship between shutter speed and aperture is fixed for a 
given exposure, so if I have A and would prefer a certain shutter speed, I 
simply adjust the aperture until the meter shows the speed I want, and vice 
versa.

Unrelated to this but to another thread, I find that the C*** P&S consistently 
overexposes by about a stop when set to matrix metering. Setting it to 
centre-weighted produces the correct exposure. Maybe C*** have the same bug in 
all their cameras?
