Re: 7 or 9, which would you pick ?

David, I am shocked to hear this. The fact they dumped spare parts, is bad enough, but to threaten action against a club, is astonishing. I really would not have expected this from the company.

Re: Dave Etchells Comments to Barry Fitzgerald on the A900

I got tired of the bar brawls on dpreview, so I have decided to not bother posting there anymore.

Re: Dave Etchells Comments to Barry Fitzgerald on the A900

No, not got one yet, but this is not unusual, I tend to buy at end of product cycles..I like a bargain ;-) I got caught out on the 5d and the ist black frame one, still, you cannot win them all.
