I see the R100 is excellent for beginners except 4 things.
1. Has to have a flip out screen, the aimed at consumers have to have this.
2. It must have a rear touch screen, again the market demands this, every phone has a touch screen and is expected.
3. The new multi function hot shoe must be included on ALL new R cameras.
4. The camera must have usb charging like every cell phone in the world, again the target market lives by this method of charging.
All these things exist and shouldn't add anything to the price.
