Re: RC50 Latency issues



This is worthwhile info...

Nevertheless, I have to question whether or why any consumer would feel 
willing to pay $500
(unless you've got that kind of money to toss around carelessly) for a 
piece of equipment which
you then have to spend time getting used to its annoyances, and developing 
workarounds for its
design limitations (failure to build in features that are included on 
comparably or lesser priced
models)... I can find plenty of things in life to get frustrated over 
without having to pay scarce
money for the privilege...
