Well, I think you have proved my point when I said, "That 'reputation'

was attributed to me only by those who failed to read carefully what I

have written", since not only have you obviously not read my reviews

carefully, but you have also obviously not even read the quote of my

post that you included here at the top! Golly, your anonymous post

must then be from that long-sleeping irrational "nappy", using one of

his 'net alter-egos - you know, the one who, while proclaiming great

experience with video, rarely posts anything on these video NGs but

ridicule, with little or no information of substance or usefulness included.

In other words, one of those with "Canon-religion", since the owner

of no other brand of camcorder posts similar claims. Why not be

more direct, and just say, "How dare you impune the supremacy of

my sacred Canon!"? At least that would be more honest...;-)
