Hi Doris:
Am pleased to be in touched with the famed "Doris Fang." Just a bit afraid I
might get DF'd...Just kidding. Seriously, I just received this XA 4. Still
have to see how pictures come out. Though CH Ling once said that this camera
is given worth more as a collectors item than for its picture taking
ability.
I am curious though about how to make best use of it. In fact I also bought
an A1L flash unit that now only I found out has a built in battery that
cannot be replace other than through a trained technician...GREAT!
But will keep you in mind if after a while I opt to exchange this for an XA
4. And if so, how much value would you put for this over the XA.
Regards
Titoy
