Welll... match needle and rangefinder focusing isn't quite what he is

And, IMO, a few that can be serious imaging machines. As you say, no WA
to speak of.

I propose:
- Most P&Ss are rather poor cameras, and more than a few are abysmal.
- Most photographers cover a range of abysmal to poor.
- Great photographers can take great images with almost any camera.
- Competent photographers can take at least technically excellent images
with some P&Ss
