Its not about fragility ....and if you ever worked in a camera store and saw what people do with the cameras, you would be amazed...they think that since it is a demo customer model, they can shake it, bang it on the counter, pull the caps off, lose parts ( synch, terminal caps)......and just about anything to "see" if it fits there needs..........then walk away and never buy a thing........
.. ..its all about a selling a buyer "new " item.........if you were going to plunk down 5 grand for a new camera, and the store hands you their one and only camera which was their demo camera handeled by hundreds of "lookey loos" would YOU want it ? I doubt it.........you would want a new one , but unfortunately that small camera store doesn't have one any more. becasue inconsiderate lookey loos like YOU insisted on being able to feel the camera " for the thrill of it" before you made your decision............next time you are in the market for a camera do this........................tell the dealer you want to pay full price for a demo model because you feel its only right........................because you are a customer............i mean a lookey loo !
