I couldn't agree more <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> Your story reminded me of the days of the first video cameras, about twenty years ago <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" /> The camera itself was about as big and heavy as the stuff used today by professional TV crews (= really big), and to add insult you couldn't even record with it by itself. Instead you had cables running to what was basically a first-generation VCR + big *ss battery pack in a bag, so you were directly recording on VHS <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> Totally killer, needless to say the whole setup weighted about 500 kg, would allow about 40 minutes of recording before the battery died, and the picture looked like crap <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/silly.gif" alt="" />

Ah the good old days when you could count the transistors on one hand <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/mage.gif" alt="" />


Btw nice features on the A80 <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/up.gif" alt="" /> I sometimes miss a Manual Focus on the V3.

They can blow up all two mijne pocket.
