Best Buy says they’ve got 9 more of the SD850s due in tonight, so they’ll be out in the morning. After getting the sales associate to take the display model off the anti-theft stand, I checked the battery door, and Duh Duh Duhh!!! It doesn’t suck. Apparently I got the assembly line reject.
My Luck.
Well round two takes off tomorrow, and I may have to redact a lot of the stuff I said in the previous post. What was interesting however is the overwhelming (as in really annoying and pushy) ‘help’ I got from the myriad of Best Buy employees. No fewer than 10 different floor reps came by and asked if I was finding everything okay. Thanks, I know you care, back off.
Snippy these days, aren’t I?
Anywho, we’ll see how the second camera does. Before I leave the store. It does speak volumes for the camera I picked out that there was literally no replacement I could find for it. Smooth design so it doesn’t snag getting it out or putting it away, telescoping lens (no blur due to l-shaped lens design), image stabilization, and a viewfinder. No other camera had this conglomeration of features, at any price point. I checked them all again, and had to ask to see the display model off the stand to check the ‘flaw’ so I could confirm my choice to hit up the same well again. More to follow.
