Dear Joseph and the list, What is interesting about this suggestion is that, with the current generation of Point and Shoot (easy to use) cameras, this can be accomplished with just a push of a button. Now you have a video recorder within a Point and Shoot camera.
It is unfortunate that it has come to this need in dealing with certain companies. But I wonder if this will really help or will it still take some time period STILL even with the video to get the offending company to finally see issues our way and finally honor their own policy. Time will tell with proof with their actions versus their words. Just some added thoughts to this added comment. Regards, Harvey “Science without religion is lame.
