Re: Cold, hard reality sets in...

Try as I did to become Terribly, Terribly Offended by your first message, instead I chuckled all the way through it. Damn, but I hate it when that happens. How can a guy work himself up into a good old self-righteous snit when he's giggling? It's SO undignified.

feel and look terrible next to a good 35mm. My present Casio really
feels like crap, but has taken almost as much abuse as my 35mm
cameras (minus the header onto concrete while on top of a tripod).
The plastic "feeling" (and appearance) doesn't necessarily
translate into flimsy construction.

I hope you were spared the thread in which some poor soul insisted that the way the camera looks actually affects the quality of the pictures taken with it. It was a gen-you-wine milestone in the annals of rocket science, that message. I arranged to have every precious word of it chiseled in stone, and now it's sitting bolt upright in our living room. People come from miles around to be healed by it. Out of the goodness of my heart, I do not charge admission. But I should.
