Yes, this is something that the online haters can't seem to see.
Yes the menus on modern cameras can be extensive and complicated but once you've waded through them and set the camera up how you want it there shouldn't be too much need to go back into the menus
And some cameras allow multiple custom set ups which you can call up very easily
Or you can do as I do a lot of the time and just use the camera in aperture or manual modes with just the shutter button and the front and back dials. To get simpler I'd have to pick up my Kodak Instamatic.
