Wow, I really didn't mean for this to turn into a rant against Sony. I was more interested in ideas of why Apple is seemingly turning away from Canon. But since we're talking about Sony - I've often heard that while their mid-range and below products are pretty unreliable, their top end stuff is usually *very* good (note that Jobs *was* holding their new HD Camcorder when he made these comments..."the year of HDTV", etc). I doubt Sony would put el-cheapo buttons on a $3500 item. But maybe I'm just naive... -- Non Illegitimi Carborundum -- G-List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
