IIRC the "very uneducated" Mr. Edgerton took his pictures in the dark using
only flash. Not to nitpick but you also should capitalize the "uneducated"
in "uneducated American Consumer" since you seem to be wanting to use the
whole thing as a proper noun phrase. :-)

If you are lamenting the demise of the fully manual SLR, I wholeheartedly
agree. On the other hand I really appreciate that my 13yo Honda starts in
all weather, all the time, without dealing with a manual choke.
