Sure as heck beats sending it back for a refund.

I've seen fantastic and abysmal results with USPS but also with other services. "Just remember: crease, crumple, cram. You'll do fine." Newman the mailman on Seinfeld.

And to me, the OP doesn't sound like a DSLR kind of person. Hating to bring the camera up to your eye, and passing up the best viewfinder in the business to use the LCD instead says to me that a...

And this thread is brought to you at no extra charge.

Aha! You don't like the LCD screen. But in the future it will become much brighter and clearer! And who wouldn't want to use a large, sharp, bright thing like that to compose their pictures? Surely...

You're right - they have much bigger fish to fry. Not worth their time to compete at that level. Canon came out with the EOS-M presumably to offer a smaller camera to people who already had a...

I disagree - I am satisfied with how the OVF works. I never use my camera and think 'if only the stuff inside it was better in this or that way' - and I don't have an expensive DSLR. But you've...

The 1910 Baker Electric car went as many miles on a full charge as an electric car of today. Now you'd THINK that with the passage of a hundred+ years we'd have made a lot more progress at...

I am quite satisfied with my T3i, and when I upgrade to a 7D or whatever its' equivalent is in a couple of years, I expect it will be larger. Not an issue with me. So many peoples' argument contain...

I've seen more than one post on the A99 with complaints that the EVF is not bright enough on sunny days to see without waiting for your eye to adjust, and one person said more or less 'when you pan...

I have a Canon Rebel, not one of the great OVF's among DSLR's, yet there are no posts that I've seen in the Rebel forum by users complaining 'it's too small, it's too dark, it's like a tunnel'....

It's not just the sensor... it's not just the autofocus... it is also size, handling, body controls, and that nothing-else-comes-close TTL OVF. But still people keep insisting and knocking on the...

FWIW I took it as humorous, not nasty.

The Nikon V1's PDAF is only available in good light and you can't force it to be selected. It's very fast but still limited. It ain't quite ready for prime time.

Dell is good for that. I like their PC's and theirs are all I buy but I prefer to avoid their proprietary-parts stuff like printers.

I have it on my T3i, seems to not have any issues that I've encountered.

Yes - crappy light is not conducive to image quality.

I totally agree with you. If it had an option to switch back and forth that would be a whole different story. MS should have had you on the product planning team. Make the tablet and desktop...

I said noticeably smaller than other DSLR's. The Sony is not a DSLR.

Bingo!
