You're going to stick with your own revisionism?

I showed, using your own examples, that the camera with the flip-out
screen was indeed larger and more expensive. And just above you claim
that's not the case, which makes you a liar.

No I told the truth, that the camera was not "much bigger" nor did it cost
"a lot more". Anyone can see that from the record of the discussion. 5mm
thicker is not "much bigger", and $799 is not the "near doubling of
price", and not "a lot more", than $699 which you claimed.

But this is on the record already. Whilst I am quite happy to engage in
reasoned argument, I regard persistently being called a liar and an idiot
as impolite at best, and close to harassment.

Bob, thanks for your contribution. As you surmise, relative number of
Euros behave in the same way as relative numbers of US dollars!

I have added rfischer(a)sonic.net to my kill-file, although whether that
will have any effect on his impoliteness to one and all and unreasoned
discussion I somewhat doubt.

Cheers,
David

And yet it's still bigger, significantly more expensive, and less durable.

Now you're lying outright. I made no such claim.
