Both shots done in full manual control with the ability to see and control the effect of gain from the viewfinder. That's a feature not offered in DSLR's
Multiple exposure photography is no gimmick.
Even re-reading your post I didn't realize you were poking fun at the "features" of the camera. Regardless of whether those are good features or bad features to have as part of a camera, the results are very cool. Looks to me like you just used to tool to help you better execute your vision. I'm sure there were many a photographer who eschewed the use of auto-focus when it came out as some kind of a gimmick. Maybe you are just ahead of your time and you don't know it. :P
