But I had hoped for a pared down DSLR in the MX style
Never say never, but I think that's a very unlikely product. It would appeal I think to a very small number of actual buyers.

I'd agree with Stuart. Using cameras that match ergonomically makes a lot of sense to me.

A percentage, not a high percentage is what I actually said. A very vociferous small percentage!

what we want and what we get are two very different things.
Not so sure about that.

I think over the years pretty much all the wants that have been put forward on this forum have been delivered. The problem has been that once delivered a percentage of people still don't seem very happy.

Pentax 110 Digital wanted, Q delivered
CSC using K mount wanted, K-01 delivered
High end compact wanted, MX-1 delivered
645D wanted, 645D delivered
Longer telephoto wanted, 560mm delivered
18-270mm wanted, 18-270mm delivered, albeit after some wait

And probably more.

You're in Leeds, so how about Camp Eden, or the Air Museum just off the York ring road?

Perhaps go back to basics. One body, one lens, go somewhere interesting.

When you get there, set a project to focus your mind. For example, find 15 images that contain the colour red. Then stop and go home to process them and make the very best of them. put them on ePHOTOzine one per day and get feedback.

Just a thought, something along those lines anyway. It just gets the creative spirit stirring again.

I'm still slightly concerned that the camera hasn't actually been examined thoroughly yet. You're the one who has told them it's water damage and they may just have taken your word for it at this stage.

The process isn't working properly at the moment - my action would have been to send it in for warranty repair when there was a fault showing, rather than to ask to have it checked in case there was a fault. That latter method can easily be seen as not a warranty claim. Checking over a camera just in case isn't a warranty issue is it?
