That's REALLY BAD design.

I agree -- a reviewer should have caught this and at least warned potential

Thank you for this kind note. When I googled for this problem, I found that
it's a common problem. But I had read the major reviews, e.g., dpreview,
and I never saw any mention that this was going to be a disaster.

The folks at dpreview pumped up the camera so much that I now look at
dpreview with total distrust.

How can ANYONE trust a reviewer who totally misses the fact the camera will
be made senseless within a year of use in almost every case?
