The manual focus isn't really any kind of impediment at allPacks of blurry-ass sports shots from my young buck days disagree.

OK maybe not for sports then. But hanging around, taking pictures of friends or taking a leisurely stroll? Manual focus is fun! Plus it's probably what aforementioned dad's camera would have been anyway.

Depends how n00b, maybe? I'd much rather have learned on something like an EOS 5/1 with autofocus and program mode rather than doing everything by hand like I did.
