I see where you are going with this idea and I think it would be a valuable fun exercise. However, I am convinced people are too keen to make all the decisions with their cameras.

I shoot a lot in P mode, just making white balance and exposure compensation settings, allowing the camera to do what it does best. UM, interesting.
