I agree, one of my criteria in selecting my last camera was that the
manual mode must be convenient in addition to whatever automatic
modes I could get.  The Olympus was discarded because it didn't
even have manual, some other one (Canon? it's been a couple of years)
was too hard to run in non-auto mode.

I admit, that frequently I go into INSTAMATIC mode on my SLR because
I am really taking snapshots.  But, I'll never get used to using the
+/- exposures compensation on program mode (perhaps they should use
lighten/darken like Poloroid does) or taking a reading with the center
weighted meter and then shifting the frame by using manual mode.

I own a poloroid 600 too.
