My lad had a cheapy Powershot A310 from eBay (£39) but he took it on a school trip and put it in his big bag - that went in the coach (bus) underneath storage compartment and when retrieved, the LCD was cracked and unreadable. The camera was fine - it would take shots but you couldn't see anything on the screen, menus, nothin'. We also have a G2 camera and that has the flip LCD, hence I was looking for something similar. The Pentax 750Z fit the bill, but not many about. A retailer advertised 3 refurbished / grad A stock at £139 each so went for it. I imagine the plastics are probably on a par with Canon's but the flip screen will be a bonus as I presume it can be flipped closed (with the screen facing inwards) like the Canon. Short of getting him a Leica M8, it will hopefully do. Even then, these LCDs are so vulnerable. Anyone make a really robust camera with a way of protecting the LCD? Camera arrives Tuesday. I haven't told the lad about it yet - naturally I will have to evaluate it ;-))) -- Cheers, Cotty ___/\__ || (O) | People, Places, Pastiche ||=====| http://www.cottysnaps.com _____________________________ -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
