Which shooting mode do you use the most? Thought a poll would be interesting on this subject.

Mostly AV, but use Manual with speedlites or strobes.

Pretty much only aperture priority or manual. Manual, though, gets the most use at about 75% of the time.

I'm with Jerry on this one, though my actual usage tilts even more to the manual mode. However, on my "bridge" cameras, I still use P mode as my default. Never even bothered to test the scene modes (which probably should have been a choice on the poll). In my user's manual, "creative modes" is a collective term for the P, Av, Tv, and M modes (P, A, S, and M in Nikon-speak).

Mostly aperture priority, except for still life, which I almost always shoot in manual.
