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&#8217;t suck.  Apparently I got the assembly line reject.<\/p>\n<p>My Luck.<\/p>\n<p>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) &#8216;help&#8217; 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.<\/p>\n<p>Snippy these days, aren&#8217;t I?<\/p>\n<p>Anywho, we&#8217;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&#8217;t snag getting it out or putting it away, telescoping lens (no blur due to l-shaped lens design), image stabilization, and <span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">a <span style=\"font-style: italic;\">viewfinder<\/span><\/span>.  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 &#8216;flaw&#8217; so I could confirm my choice to hit up the same well again.  <span style=\"font-weight: bold;\"><\/span>More to follow.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Best Buy says they&#8217;ve got 9 more of the SD850s due in tonight, so they&#8217;ll be out in the morning.
