It is a wonderful camera that even this manual focus/exposure nut
(auto-hater;-) can like (though the plastic still puts me off...).
It has a few quirks (it doesn't like dampness combined with low
batteries - turning everything off and removing the battery pack
for a few seconds generally clears the lock-up....), but it is
a fine user camera.
Hope This Helps
