Sorry for the tone but I just get really annoyed that you seem to think this machine should be a pro editor or something for like ~£200. The advert marking is usually within about 12-25 frames for me, close enough to locate and erase.

Sorry it doesnt work for you and yes your letters to Sony are worthwhile and we appreciate it but your constant slagging off of anything that anyone seems to suggest is good about the 870 is just getting tedious.

Tut, tut, Mike. Even I would not have been as vehement as that! I think you might have accused me, incorrectly as it turns out, as being a Sony 870 detractor.
As is happens, I think that I have convinced myself to purchasing this model in view of its good price, especially via an online purchase even though I don't like buying such items by this method.
My local Sony Centre want £299.99 for it and I have got to weigh out the convenience of a local purchase against courier-delivered goods and waiting in etc but a saving of £75 is very enticing, I must say.
