I like my equipment dumb. If they sold equipment without all the "stuff" I'd buy it.

I use MF and ME nearly 95% of the time. The remaining 5% is with aperture priority but a fewer percentage is with AF (mainly for parties and other social events). But if I shot more sports, I'd probably use AF a lot more.

So for now, I consider all the "stuff" that came with my equipment as free stuff that I just don't use
