Ok bobdole, we need to clear somethings here. When people here say their camera's suck, we refer to the mainstream segment, ala sub $300 cameras. This is an $800 camera in which the main design came from a Minolta model after sony bought the company. They added some additional bells and whistles, but thats about it. Minolta was a pioneer in cameras, no doubt about that.

And that TV, one site gave it 8.2 out of 10. I really do not want a $3000 item that I buy be rated 8.2/10. Not also that, but other sites give it as low as 7.

I am trying to be realistic here nothing personal
