Yes, the camera has some flaws under some situations. The people on this list who have one have posted some examples of the magenta cast etc. But they have also posted a lot of wonderful pictures. Waiting is silly, especially for those who live in the Northern Hemisphere and are thus in the middle of winter, when there is not that much IR light anyway and the trees are bare. Remember the PLUG/PAW motto: keep pushing that shutter button, it might come unstuck!
