I agree.  I have the right to go into a camera store, hold a $4000 (Can.)
camera in my hand, and decide that it is uncomfortable to hold.  I don't
see why I should actually have to buy the thing only to discover 2 weeks
later that my first instincts were correct.  I have no arguement with
others who like the camera, but I resent being bovine-excremented on
because I feel the camera is not for me.
