I've only used AF-A by accident.

Well, if someone is that unknowing about the product, why would we value his recommended settings? Yes, AF.S for most situations is correct. While I agree that it is probably best to disable AUTO NR at any ISO setting if you're into making the adjustments on your own, some folks might want to save post-processing time if they find a NR setting to their liking. Not sure I'd single that out for recommendation when its a personal preference situation.

Mr. Photouniverse, really? Ego much? Doesn't sound like anyone I would take seriously...

I like his videos. He's one of the only guys doing reviews who doesn't put me to sleep.

I like him too. He's fun and interesting and best of all is a Pro Photographer with plenty of experience and a Pentax Fan. Yea I sometimes wish he would get to the point instead of dragging it out, but hey that's his personality. We're all different. Thank God
