RE: Horizon 202

To Christophe and the group,

I would advise caution to anyone contemplating buying a Horizon 202.

It is a compact, attractive little thing that is capable of making very nice 
images -  and it is inexpensive too. However, I think it is poorly made or 
that the Rusky quality control is non-existent.

I am now working on my third issue. The first failed catastrophically  while 
I was traveling in Mexico; the advance gears slipped and overlapped most of 
my pictures. On the second issue the speed indicator (the device for setting 
shutter speeds) floated around from time to time, such that I never really 
knew what speed the camera was set to. I now have a third camera and the 
advance lever disengages at the slightest provocation.

Maybe I am just unlucky, but you should cover your ass by getting a money 
back guarantee!
