yup, it would be a waste to not utilize all the programming and AI written into our high-tech cameras! :P i only use manual when i really have to. if there's a method that would work without going manual, you can bet i'll use that instead of M. |
Yup. The only new/ extra feature is that I can now twiddle aperture and shutter speed when working in Auto hence use AP and SP slightly less. That's the only thing (relevant to aperture, shutter speed settings) that I didn't have on the film SLRs I used to use. Both my film SLRs had AP, SP and exposure compensation.

Hmmm....I've been shooting mostly on shutter priority. This might explain some things. I notice no one does. I learn something new everyday on this site! |

Aperture Priority
Most of the time.
Shutter Priority
Sometimes when using outdoor flash and I want to keep the shutter speed to 1/200sec (my shutter sync). Also, I'll use this when I want to get blurring in action shots.
Manual
For indoor flash photography. Whenever my camera is on a tripod (hey, it's on a tripod, time to slow down and manually set the camera). I'll also use manual with outdoor photography that's back lit and sensors can be fooled.
Full Auto
I tell my wife to just use "P" mode (not quite full auto) since I'm always messing with the settings. She gets pissed when she picks up my camera and take a picture and it doesn't come out nice. I just tell her to put it in "P" mode and shoot away. I don't like Full Auto since it defaults to JPEG and I like RAW (10D doesn't do JPEG+RAW). |

Try a Nikon D200. I find that my fingers just naturally land on the buttons I need and had very little trouble adjusting to it. Of course, since you use Canon YMMV.
