What I did say was this, "Just what I always wanted, a camera designed by people with automobiles named like them.<< >>They certainly did NOT design the lens or IC chip. They have a good reputation and there is no reason to disparage them for designing the ergonomics of a camera.<< I do not believe I disparaged Porsche in that I thought I made my intent clear, e.g., Rollei's seemingly heavier play on the design team as opposed to function and performance as a tool of the photographic trade. But then I doubt they give two hoots in hell what I think. :-) Best, Don
