Are these pictures of the camera you took or the press's release? Why not show a close up of the top so one might see all the programs on the mode dial? The same goes for the back of the camera, I want to see the available buttons, any assignable ones? If this is simply a press release then why not say so and you then don't have to take all this crap aimed at you for doing such a poor preview.

Jerry you can click on the photos Josh has taken of the camera and look at the dial at a large size. It's not a press release - they appear in our news section. This is a first look - preview - lets us post specs and some initial hands on photos. A more detailed look/test will usually follow.
