Do you know it's back-illuminated CMOS sensor?
There is some news Samsung was busy making one.

It's weather resistance and Pentax even claims it weather resistance so don't worry about the weather.
I've even resined the camera twice but I caused some heart attacks here when I told that

btw don't forget that you also need weather resistance lenses to make it 100% weather proof but a mild rain with a normal lenses doesn't seem to hurt that much though.
All the DA* lenses and the DA lenses with WR (weather resistance) are sealed.

Request them to write down what exactly was the cause of the malfunction.
If you can prove that it was not your fault but that it was a factory defect you should be able to claim back the repair cost but it might be hard to prove though

Still I got a weird feeling with Samsung cameras, it surely just the brand name and it's the same with Sony and even Canon a bit.
Camera's are quite specialised equipment so I rather see a brand name on it that only makes camera.
Like I said it's most likely just a feeling, I'm not suggesting that the are of less quality. Just to make that clear

Yes warranty is warranty but the smaller shops in general are more personal and are often willing to go the extra mile to have a happy customer.
With the big shops that shift boxes you're really just a number that bought a camera.

Terry and Flossie I know this thread have gone of topic quite a bit
Please lets keep it at Apple and developers or else we get such a discussion we had in the iPad topic

@Shaky you know what you're talking about
One of the best things of the iPhone are the apps do you think that with the new policy of Apple that fewer developers are going to design apps for apple and rather chose for Android and Windows?

btw the new policy also include the iPad right or not?

Isn't typing and then deleting it more a waste of time?

I'm actually quite worried about what's going on.
I'm going to get a macbook over 3 months with Photoshop for my study if all goes well.
Since Adobe now has make this reaction to Apple I wonder if Adobe might do more just to get their right... Hopefully they dont do it over the backs of the users that have a Mac.

Aren't you Mac users with Adobe products worried a bit?

Yes sorry Tim but you could found it in my second comment already so basically it's quoted 3 times now

Although what you said isn't true.
Apple isn't rejecting Apps based on quality but based on the language and program that they use to create the App.

And I still find it strange that Adobe isn't able to make Flash run good on Apple products while it do run well on Windows but that's an other matter entirely so lets not discuss that.

ps. don't you think Apple is hurting his own Apps market with their policy or is Apple the biggest with their App market and wouldn't they have much to fear?

ps. ps. Giving my previous ps. more though and i think Apple is making a mistake.
The thing is they are making it harder for developers to create Apps for their iPhone while others like Symbian, Windows Mobile, Google Android (basically 80% of smartphone sales) who allow development tools that can create apps cross platform.
Many developers need to learn a new developer tool if they want to make something for the iPhone and why would you want to do that if you can reach 80% of the other market with your current tool?

Oh wait just found this one, stupid me


Metalica (1960)
Built around the then new Copal Square vertical running metal blade shutter (giving the name to the camera), it featured 27-cell non-TTL selenium meter on pentaprism and bayonet mount. That metering system was already surpassed by the Spot-Matic concept.

Mowog this one maybe?
Pulled it from ASAHI OPTICAL HISTORICAL CLUB site.


Metalica II (1966)
World's first aperture priority automatic exposure, TTL metering SLR. Bayonet mount and electronic shutter. Again, Asahi brought innovation to the SLR concept, followed years later by all competitors.

Ah okay thank you, cost is indeed a good reason and that's a good price for such camera.
