Have called in the past year the service my wishes, complaints. It has promised to change, but unfortunately? For me, the X7R is of little use. Reason: The camera can be operated via battery or power supply. If battery is empty, so you can install a fully charged spare battery. On external power, the knock-out criterion is the memory card. The can be replaced quickly. What makes our remote control? Battery must first be charged before re-use is possible. No external power is possible. Other weak points have already been mentioned
