Probably, I have a bad concept of time.  I once tried to return a 3 year old VCR under a 1 year warranty.

I had a £3000 (DSLR with two lenses) that was 6MP.  I thought that was about 6 years ago, probably more.

Oh they do.  I have a compact digital from them which claims 10MP.  It's easy to see it's only a quarter of that when you zoom in in Photoshop.  They use software interpolation inside the camera, the CCD is not 10MP.  It's a Finepix S1000FD if you want to check.

Only ever used their lenses, which are good.

I said, "No, but I have some old ropes that should do just fine."
