So your conclusion would be like: "never borrow camcorders to shoot events as you will eventually screw up both the device and the event" ? I've learned that lesson, too. Years ago, at a wedding, I was using a 10-year old Panasonic MS 1, looking in the b/w viewfinder and hoping to have done the white balance right, when someone stepped on the coupling of my power adaptor in the church, in a
very important moment. The work of the devil, obviously. You can imagine the rest.
Like Murphy said, if something can ever go wrong, then it will.
