Absolutely spectacular!

Now why didn't my pictures of Yellowstone and Oak Creek Canyon come out
like that?

You really need to take a trip to DC and capture the local scenery! Maybe
with Reggie during cherry blossom time?

Would it be possible to share that with a friend of mine in Holland? He's
been through a lot of that country by motorcycle, so he'd appreciate the
work tremendously.

Thanks for sharing that. Most cool!

You think camera repair people should work for wal-mart wages?

Yeah, right. And they probably couldn't put together an 8' wood dinghy.

Please. I know what is involved in building small boats, and I have seen
skilled camerarepairpersons do their thing. There's no comparison in the
level of skills needed. The inside of a camera is still like the inside
of a fine watch, with the addition of electronic circuitry.

No - I don't expect that.

I do expect a reasonable rate to replace the viewfinder glass and
upload the latest software.

It seems to me that 2/3s of the cost of the camera new (as of 2 1/2
years ago) is a bit excessive.
