Basically it seems to do away with the need for the aperture priority or shutter priority mode. Or am I missing something

Programe Mode is the same as Auto Mode expect you can change a few settings like ISO, White Balance.

Av - Aperture Value
You choose the aperture and the camera auto selects the shutter speed to properly expose the photo.

Tv - Timing Value (S mode on Nikons)
You choose the shutter speed and the camera auto selects the aperture to properly expose the photo.
