Thanks to all who have res

Thanks to all who have responded so far. The SR11 sounds great so far, and I am looking more into it.

Please take this as my own quirky way of learning, rather than any sort of challenge to what you’re saying, but– can you tell me what it is, specifically, about new cameras at the $500 range that makes them unacceptable?

For instance, what about this?

or this?

I’m not saying there’s anything great about those cameras– I just grabbed them off the web… but if they’re “laughable,”- and I could certainly understand this, as I could name several “laughable” piano keyboards- then can you help me to understand what it is that makes them so?

Thanks!
