Possibly a few suggestions on how to avoid further annoyance to yourself, wasted time. After all life is far too short to waste on piddling broken down cameras you keep trying to purchase. I mean dealing with camera shops who's owners look at the paint job with no knowledge of how the camera works obviously is of great annoyance to you, when they're trying to flog a camera which was probably beaten almost to death by some careless dolt who knew nothing of the cameras operation themselves. I realize how mentally frustrating this is for you, as you've posted your complete dislike of a camera which appears you've never bought new. Therefore, not having the experience of putting a roll of film into a virgin body experiencing the great delights of what a wonderful feeling this can be ! However, may I suggest a few things to save yourself considerable time, anger, anguish, frustration and further keyboard time pounding out your complete dislike of a camera system of which, many of us have used as professionals for many years with the greatest of success. Oh we've had a few glitches, that's true, however the R camera is no where near as bad as you constantly spout! Suggestions to ease your wasting nerves and time. Not to mention ours! Do not deal with inexperienced staff in camera shops. Buy only new R cameras Stop complaining about something you have no experience with as a new item Buy only Canon or Nikon Then you can complain on their lists And if you don't have success with any other camera equipment....... find another hobby! Have a good day! Relax. ted
