Well, yes, I do know people said all those things. It sounded to me
like people were quite happy with it as a studio camera, and not so
much in other uses.
Anyway, it didn't seem to be so bad that we should pretend it didn't
exist.

I imagine that it would work best in situations where no cropping or
only mild cropping were used, as zooming into its aliased pixels
probably wasn't a nice experience.
