If you had to choose only 1 option when using your camera that you look as most important above all others, which would it be ?

 

Because of my work for me its Continuous shooting speed.

I love manual focus.

 

I could easily live without auto focus. Even shooting sports I am usually a lot quicker than auto.

I suffer from a muscular disorder so on a bad day I can have trouble with grip and a shaky arm so I would say for me a tripod and or good lens with vibration reduction!

i would say either aperture priority or exposure compensation. i use lots of manual focus, especially with close up and macro.

I remember the "olden" days with my manual focus Minolta 35mm. Auto focus is easier, I guess.

all options can be worked with and adapted towards if we're given limitations. for me the most basic option I would always opt for would be digital over film.

For me, with wildlife and insects it's got to be manual focus

For me it is good fast auto-focus. At one time I had no trouble doing manual focus. Those days are long behind me. My first auto-focus Nikon was an N2020, at the time it was wonderful. Today we'd laugh at the poor slow auto-focus it had.
