My friend has commented on that as well, in that most digital cameras (and he was referring to point and shoots) are not designed to be repairable if something goes wrong. So, the cost of actually repairing one - if it can be done - is far more expensive than going over to Wal-mart and just buying a new one. -- Steve Sharpe [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://earth.delith.com/photo_gallery.html -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
