WARNING OPINIONS AT 12 O'CLOCK

Yes that's very true in my case. I love the Loreo but not for it's quality
but rather for it's convienance. There have been many a time when the
inconvienance of carrying any of the other traditional 3D cameras or
setups was the deciding factor of what to bring. Recently I was videotaping
my daughter at a parade (which incidently I missed her as she passed right
in front of me as I later learned!) and decided to bring the Loreo since
it would have been hard to handle two pieces of equipment.

As to the quality of the Loreo, it's passable but it's no optical wonder
in the sense of sharpness. But all things considered it't pretty good
considering the mirror thingie and simple lenses. Now the viewer is plainly
speaking (sorry Sam for my choice of words, I know you don't like the words
garbage) a piece of garbage and they should retire it and further reduce
the price of the camera to an even more competive price that it already
is. Now that's only an onion, I mean opinion! ;-)
