Dear all,
I have used the DM-R for more than 2 months now on my R8. The first assignment
i had was an alma mater gathering of a leading school in Malaysia.
Unfortunately after 3 hours of use the batteries got depleted. I complained to
the main agents and was replaced with a new one. Now for such an assignment i
had to have a spare batteries but the cost is very steep. 3 weeks later the
rotary buttons on the lower left popped out, The DM-R was sent for repair under
warranty. Other wise the pictures were superb.
