Have you read the entire LONG LONG THREAD from the beginning yes or no? I do admit it might be a little tricky if you don't just read all the posts in the last 48 hours because there are several different headers discussing the same subject.
I just want to make it clear because this thread is very very long and for you to drop in on it at such a late date without having read it all is going to be messy at best and if you keep throwing insults in too its going to get even worse...

Most consumers equate age with quality in most of their purchasing decisions. It's newer, therefore its better. They equate user features with quality: No auto focus? It's crap. But I only sold the stuff for a living for 15 years, I probably am wrong. William Robb
