Alas - I have no comptent handy person nearby to give it too... But this isn't, after all, a mechanical camera - and it is sealed, not a DSLR. and Canon had it for a whole month before letting me know they couldnt fix it actually, Photo tech called them to nudge them - I don't do electronics - although I can screw in a light bulb. i'm gonna just buy a DL and be done with it.... Rob is gonna be saying "I told you so" - but the prices were still to high last year. The one thing is, The DL will give me more detail and I can use myold PEntax glass. ann > > -- > PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List > [email protected] > http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
