Lou, I don't see anything yet that is remotely broken on my
camera and not even anything yet that I want to call Canon
tech support about. /My/ part of these threads has been based
on my expectations that weren't initially fulfilled and my
naivete on how to use a complicate piece of gear. I don't
think now, and didn't think before, that a Canon Rebel XT, or
a Nikon D70s, or Minolta 7D or other competitor are POS.
And, I fully understand and fully accept the consequences that
are obvious when trying to shoot shiny objects with a single
flash mounted on top the camera, or to shoot available light
where the car, the foreground, sides, and background are all
lit unevenly, overall ambient light is very dim, and overhead
spot lights are common. I /never/ said I expected perfection.
I said I was surprised and disappointed at the difficulty in
getting minimally acceptable results and acceptable noise.
