>>140717 Well, yeah, they can be used for everything. But they're best suited for shooting people ("Tranquil" has nothing to do with it.), the same way SLRs are best suited to studio work, work with long lenses, or macro work.
All the things in that list are useless for most photography. Matrix metering is useless for everything, or rather, there's no reason to use it instead of CWA or spot if someone knows what they're doing. Autofocus isn't useful for medium telephoto and shorter lenses. Continuous shooting is only useful for sports or wildlife. Zooms A) are bulky, and thus not desirable when trying to shoot people, B) pointless if a person is skilled at framing, and inhibit the development of that skill, and C), are very difficult if not impossible to couple to a rangefinder.
B) sort of gets at the whole issue with all of these: outside of a few specialized applications, they're crutches for people whose skill sucks, and by holding their hand, might get them a few more decent shots, but holds them back from getting the skills they need to take really good ones.
