Summary: 


As we all seem to agree there are useful conditions for both
aperture AND shutter priority automatic cameras.  However, there
is a serious problem with cameras that simply allow you to choose 
any mode you like (such as the cannon A-1, but of course there are
lots of others).  It seems to be a common problem that all cameras
are  "too slow". For example, you are taking a picture and your
wife (or whoever) says "hurry up, whats taking you so long".  Of
course since the photographer wants the perfect shot using the proper
mode of operation it takes a long time and the subject starts
to throw things at you. :-)  
	Anyway, I prefer aperture automation because it seems to be
easier to set the camera quickly to what you want by turning
the aperture ring.  The camera **MUST** have both the aperture and
speed settings in the viewfinder though or this mode of
operation is useless!
