Sarcasm doesn't particularly suit you, Gerry. OK, maybe I do need to
read parts of the thread again, because I thought you and others were
objecting to the white pre-flicker of the built in flash - with most
serious flash photography wouldn't you be rather using the red assist
of an external flash, and isn't that pretty much what the earlier
Elan's AF assist was like? I honestly don't know, so fill me in. I
have found the built in flash to be pretty useless most of the time,
except as occasional fill. It's underpowered for long shots, and
harsh for close shots.
And if you'd been following *my*posts here, you'd realize that I am
not a blind devotee of the camera, interested only in justifying my
purchase. I think if there's enough you like about the camera,
there are work-arounds for the things you don't like. But maybe not.
Everyone has different ways of working.
