I'll gladly pay the $30.00 if you will fly me down there! :)

If anyone goes to this PLEASE post your impressions.

Thanks,

Mike

I understand Jim Martin has a predilection for celery sticks, so don't let him out of your sight.

Looking forward to it and seeing the new camera in action. Very cool.

Carrots..........melon, assorted fruits and...Yes Betsy, we'll have something for you. Just so you know, everyone who eats meat will be automatically be entered in a drawing for a free HV20...but you've made your choice.

LOL! That's why I put a ;) after my post.

Hard to believe that you received calls for that.

Eat more beef, win a Canon HV20!

:)

Wait a sec... what's this about Santa Claus?

He's this guy in a red suit that actually thinks once a year he goes down the chimney of every house in the world and leaves presents....if your good. Now I knew this bully up the street named Todd, and every year he got presents and I knew he was BAD so ...........

Betsy, Betsy, Betsy.......Meat eaters get an HV20 plus a chance to win a H1 but all veggies get a slightly used ZR20s. If you show, I might be able to get you something special from the back.

We came, we saw, we munched on both meat and vegetables, and while Jim was occupied in the back a bunch of us stole most of the contents of the showroom (wow, imagine if there actually turned out to be things missing and I get a knock on my door in the next few hours--someone come bail me out if that ends up to be the case...)!

No but really, it was a very informative and engaging morning/afternoon, thanks so much to Greg for the wealth of patiently delivered information, and Jim for hosting.

I'm glad everyone had a good time. Now as for stealing stuff.....1/2 the time I sat in the back and kept my eye on you and a few others. The other half of the time, I was in the back watching you on all the security cameras SOO you didn't think I saw you take that 3rd sandwich......pastrami with cheese.
Anyway, the HV20 is shaped really nice, feels good, and layed out well. We think it will be the perfect "C" camera.

Thanks
