Observation only, no recommendation, one way or the other. Many people now
avoid such lengthy, expensive drives by
buying goods, sometimes 2, 3 or more at once, try them out and maybe compare
them carefully, at leisure at home, and
return what doesn't work for them. Certainly a better opportunity to get to
know a camera than a few minutes in a store.
Seems wrong to me, somehow, and I have not tried it. But I grew up when there
weren't free 2 day deliveries, postage
only returns and when most goods were available most places, often with
knowledgeable sales people..
I did buy the E-M5 sight unseen.
