2 opinions?

Hi,
First question is:
In buying a used 100a, what is a decent amount of hours on the camera and what is an 'excessive' amount? For example is 250 hours a lot?

100a VS 100b, I know the technical differences but I wanted to know what the 'actual' users here thought of the differences, if there is even a big one?

Thanks!

250 is not excessive, but you can often find used cameras with less...people will often use the camera for one project and then sell it off...it seems like 250 is just about the mark at which the wear on the camera can actually be considered (a little) against the price - that is to say it should take a little off the resale value, but not like 600hrs or something - its just not as good as say 75-100hrs (obviously)

as for the difference between A/B - i only have a B, never had an A but apparently there is more noise with the A - i also appreceate the breakaway angle of the LCD screen (beyond 90 degrees) on the B as i do lots of run and gun... hope this helps!
