Re: Cold, hard reality sets in...

Hi there,

I also forgot to mention. I live in the UK. Here camera shops are not quite so keen to let you try out cameras for extended period sof time to see whether you an live with tem. Likewise consumer right in the UK are by no means as strong as they are in the US. For those of us in the UK who wish to buy a camera we are much more reliant on reviews than those in the US are. We can't make as many mistakes.

I also still maintain that that the battery issue is a major one. When I buy a new product to replace an old one I amlooking for an overall improvement. Digital cameras give me the capability to take many pictures on card but having to stop to change batteries all the time will drive me insane. I wish I knew what Minolta were playing at ref this issue. Everyone else is managing to drive down the consumption of their cameras. Minolta appears to be movign back to early preview levels of the first generation of digicams on the battery issue.

Just my ha'porth worth.

But who knows if I pick one up and try it and like it ...........I might be sold on it.
