I think the camera should never be tested on the counter or sold without at
least a winder.
Throw the winder in and let the sales rip!

on a camera counter compare a winderless R8 against an RTSIII or many other top
cameras with built in winders and the R8 will loose.
That's how i see it! Glue the winder on!
