Hopefully it should work but like everything else I can't guarantee it as there is no use limit on it I don't think, like later versions

this editing suite is very easy to use and may well help some lucky member
Is that legal?

Where's the problem?

I REALLY don't see it.
Totally agree, I can't see the problem either. How does the OP know the financial situation that the contestant is in? It could be, as many people do, that they entered the competition and perhaps many others, to 'trade in' their wins to help out in these troubled times?
This kind of person makes me sick, disgusting is not a strong enough word for such a vile human being


That is not very kind at all, especially as you have no idea of their situation.
I wonder what the OP would have done if they had bothered entering and won the competition?

That was my thought too Gasman. For someone who loves photography to sell a prize camera they would have to be in financial dire straits and need the money. I would call it resourcefulness.

Very true AnnieS. I know of a few people that have entered competitions just to gain the retail value of the prize if they had won. I really cannot see the problem, well, perhaps one

Seriously,what a ,🤬🤬🤬
Why have they spoilt it for others? and yes you did say two fingers up at him Do you know the entrants financial situation? If there was a free to enter competition where the first prize was a Lamborghini, would you enter and then sell it on if you won if you couldn't afford to run it? I would. Perhaps the OP can contact the winner https://www.ephotozine.com/article/n...n-winner-34900 If it is the same person, then the OP can really vent their strong feelings, if they haven't had the
cojones to do so There is an aside - perhaps the OP wouldn't have a clue how to use the new camera? None the less, I still can't understand the reticence.

If that was the winner perhaps he didn't need a new camera because his photos look pretty good. Even if it was Kodak Brownie why would you want to change?
