But it does take time, maybe 4 weeks or more. I think they are very conscious about their reputation.

Being a native Kansan (Wichita) I can understand the motivation to get out of town for some respite from the weather. Keep having fun.

Thanks for the explanation on the differences in the 2 models. It sure doesn't seem worth it to repair much of any technical gear these days as it's more economical to just buy a new one.Rickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16523089898331291694noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6192913928006796095.post-10059721363110767062012-08-30T07:56:21.914-05:002012-08-30T07:56:21.914-05:00My cousin from England calls us a 'disposable ...My cousin from England calls us a 'disposable society'. How true! Nice to see the new camera. I still have my old TZ5 but the TZ7 bit the dust a few weeks back. I think I bought the TZ5 in Corpus Christi in Jan 09.
