Careful, I'm about to blaspheme! I warn that even though I'm not faulting the DS2, but just stating my reaction to ergonomic, structural and operational convenience points. To me, the image is everything. If I need fiddle with menu options and become irritated at some irrational design blunder, I could easily overlook it if the image were worth it. Admittedly, said determination is to a large degree subjective with each user having their own unique set of standards. It surprised me somewhat to read a critical admonition of an advertiser's product appearing in an international publication.
