They were the opposite of what I've been reading. Aggressive to sell w/o being badgering. Nice to talk to (I had many questions). Always responsive to emails, etc. Great experience.

I must be over 40 now 'cuz I don't get that treatment any more. BTW the dealer that gave me that treatment is no longer in business. Funny how the camera they refused to show me turned out to be the one that has been my favorite for the last 20 years. Doug Herr Sacramento http://ourworld.compuserve.com/homepages/telyt
