Ahem ..... I have 10 pairs of slip-ons. . . laces are for walking shoes, slip-ons are for hanging around, looking ever so cool.
Their loose fit also reduces the stress of cycling through camera menus.
... it'll be crocks next
I've seen standards slip like this in the past, I expect Ken Clark will be wearing the Hush Puppies in public soon .. dirty politics in my opinion!

I wonder which comes first;
A: Person gets fed up with menus and decides complicated things are no good - gets slip on shoes
B: Person wears slip on shoes so has no experience with complications like menus.
C: Person gives up on participating in society and decides crocs are suitable footwear.

A Touch of Light
I can't justify spending the money on a digital camera I have to set up to act like a film camera. I'm not about to spend $2000 for a full-frame digital to mimic something I can have for a couple hundred dollars (and will outlast the digital by decades). The best part is I don't have to dig through menus to get Velvia-like images, as interpreted by a processor. I load up the real thing.

The first menu-driven camera I ever confronted was a film camera, a used F6 that I picked up. The Nikon manual is pretty much useless in telling you what the menu functions are, and how to set up a camera to do things your way. It was easier learning to program an Excel spreadsheet. Fortunately, there is a big market in publications that fill in a lot of the blanks (I like Thom Hogan's books, electric and otherwise). When I picked up a user D7000, the transition wasn't too difficult,
My primary digital camera, a Monochrom, has a relatively modest menu system, and a lot of the menu items (once you learn what they do, and the Leica manual isn't overly helpful in that regard) can be safely ignored. The user profile feature is good for people (like me) who are too cheap to have their "old" Leica lenses given the 6-bit coding treatment. Instead of hunting through the lens profile menu when switching lenses, I just set up user profiles for each lens, and select that instead.
