I think he bought the unit from Adorama and he has purchased quite a bit
of equipment from them over the last few months so I'm guessing they'll
make it right for him in the end.
I'm with you on this. I had a hard time believing he bought the camera
and then unloaded the D100 so quickly. I would have certainly waited
until I was 100% sure of it. I used my ancient OM-4 and T32 to shoot my
son at graduation because I *know* it will work like it's supposed to. I
have no faith in any fancy new camera I might have just purchased... ;)
