Fishead-Rot has never achieved adulthood.

He is the definition of the word 'man-boy'.

Bob, Ray claimed that by adding a swivel LCD finder to a Canon 7D "it
would cost a
lot more and make the camera much bigger and less durable", whereas I
presented some evidence that this did not appear to apply to roughly
comparable Nikon cameras, which are neither significantly bigger, nor do
they cost more in the swivel finder version.

I've had a camera with a swivel finder before and found it surprisingly
handy, and am pleased to see this feature extend to DSLRs. A pity it's
not on not the 7D, though.

Cheers,
David

Sorry, Ray, but you're not going to wind me up again by false accusations.
Anyone who wants to can read the past posts and form their own
conclusions. I'm only sorry that you appear to have misunderstood what I
wrote.
