People that really miss simplicity can order Leica M-D, no lcd, no fancy features, and it's very affordable at around 5-6k)

I suppose that's possible, but the right hand should be just resting against the side with the finger over the shutter button and nearly all the weight's borne by the left hand, forearm and elbow.

And don't forget to hold your breath and always have your back to the sun.

I am on a practical car enthusiasts' forum and for posting there I frequently take pictures under the car of work I am doing. It is not just laying on the ground, it is also being squeezed in by the car floor over me. I still have no problem, sorry.

I shoot in manual nearly 90% of the time. Set the camera in manual and you're set, it's really easy to bypass what you don't need.

Not to mention that the shutter goes when you press the button, not when the AF system decides it's a good time.
