I'd be unhappy if I found that my Revere's 1/200 was only, say, 1/100. I
like to shoot, most of the time, at the highest shutter-speed the camera
offers to avoid blurring, esp. when projecting. Adding a little "reducto
ad absurdum (sp?)", if I found the 1/200 to be 1/25 (but it isn't,
fortunately), I'd be looking for someone to "fix" the problem - my ageing
hands aren't as good in steadying the camera as they used to be and
holding it tightly against my forehead makes the camera too slippery after
a while ;->
