I am due for an upgrade on christmas eve (lucky me) and have been heavily leaning towards the surround. It just seems like a tank & very well built; also plastic chrome pieces like the ones on the focus make me vomit lol. Anyways after checking out reviews and comments on the surround the only thing I am concerned about on the surround is the camera. Ive seen a lot of negative reviews on the camera and wanted to get your experiences with taking pictures & videos so I know Im making the right choice.
