There are a lot of non-Electronics types here in the LUG. Their expectations are sometimes not realistic when it comes to technological issues. I try to keep those issues honest. The buyer should make up his own mind given complete and factual information and his needs and wants. It is none of my business what he decides, and personally, I could care less. Frank Filippone red735i@earthlink.net Frank, I agree with you totally - I would put the life at 5 years or so. Unless you are a pro, it seems to be an excessive price to pay for that life span. A Nikon or a Canon equivalent can be had for one fifth the price - I know people will say 'rangefinder' or 'Leica' but the bang for the buck is just not there as a photographic tool, IMHO. On the other hand, it qualifies extremely well as an inexpensive piece of handmade jewellery..... Cheers Jayanand
