I guess it might be that the nice things about this camera are so nice, that people are willing to overlook even a serious flaw. I have that sort of relationship with quite a lot of Apple stuff but Ive never had one of these Xacti cameras, it sounds like I should resist or face the possibility of getting addicted. Still as I love progressive video Im sure the temptation to get one that does 720p will be too much for me at some point...mmm
Where can I read more about the LCD problems and how common they might be, what models etc? I guess I'll google and post a link if I find anything particularily revealing, unless I already missed some links about this issue?
