...at risk of going off half cocked:
The cure for the armpit shot dilemma for the softie is that after a few
weeks or months the thing magically disappears and you don't get to play
with it anymore. So you can go buy a green one instead of a red one, I
love the colors.
I had heard way back that as far a the some shutter mechanism goes most
but not all cameras should be kept in a cocked possession and others
not, I think a not might have been the 'blad.
