That's very disappointing for you, so I hope you get your replacement soon.
There's nothing at all showing up as a green stripe on my monitor though - where is it? Is my monitor too dark to see it?

I packed that lark in ages ago, my wife hated the smell of chemicals.
And basically I am a lazy photographer.
I would like even better kit at minimal cost also without so many buttons and menus, remember the days when you looked through the viewfinder and on the side or underneath you had the meter reading and what you were focusing on and nothing else?
I remember that. With my first ever camera, the Praktica MTL 50 with the arrows in the viewfinder. Then the Nikon F3...those were the days.I packed that lark in ages ago, my wife hated the smell of chemicals.

Agreed: there pluses and minuses for everything. the tone of some of the banter here has been that Nikon/Canon/Sony/Hasselblad will provide a perfect solution. they do not, even at the price of a D700. But then what do I know, I still use film.
