Simple like without a thought. It's kind of like I've been trying to explain for sometime about digital. And the results I have just by turning it on, taking my pictures and people suck their breathe at the results in dis-belief that it's digital because they look so beautiful! A sort of point. You may re-call a few weeks ago I had several photographs sold for $750.00 each. A couple more have gone since, one of them a 13X19 flower picture shot with a 20D and Leica 80mm 1.4 lens and everything set on automatic! :-) Just look through viewfinder, focus and go "click!" So maybe you might understand why I have so much difficulty dealing with all the technical stuff. Bottom line still is, the client is happy with the results and buys. And I'm happy all the way to the bank. :-) KISS simple! :-) And as most of you know I don't have a clue about technical stuff, certainly the posts of the past week about all kinds of "corrective stuff" for what appears to be, maybe, problems with the M8 recording mechanism. Or whatever. There must have been 250 suggestions, if not more about how to fix the perceived problems. Many by what appear by people who haven't even had the camera in hand or if so, merely a few minutes in a shop. But I want you to know this isn't a complaint by moi, merely an observation of interest because when I get my M8's they'll be turned on, ASA set and away I'll go! Taking pictures as free as a bird and as long as they look cool? Hey, I'm KISS happy! :-) ted
