There is a reason Fuji X-Bodies led sales in Japan.
Minolta did sterling work in introducing Autofocus to the market in the 80's but the great crime of the MAXDynAlpha Cameras was normalising LCD screens & multifunc. controls.
Sure, makes sense for pro level shooting, NIGHTMARE for everyone else.

Actually it was founded by Failsons. Like all good colonies!
Eventually imported failsons were replaced with home-grown failsons, who were in turn replaced w/, briefly, democracy.
All j/k aside, The US Gov. mis- characterising it's own history is the 1 political tradition the Trump admin observes.

Small gestures of support, miniscule financial support; they do add up.

I have video switching, camera op., sounddesk, live audio, and livestream experience. I can supply.... some of my own equipment.
I don't have a relevant qualification, but in my industry that makes me overqualified b/c you can pay me a lower hourly rate.

Only rec. any kind of ADHD meds in my 30s.
Didn't solve ALL my issues immediately, but a hell of a diff. nonetheless.

If U need a super precise mouse, do some research and get the best you can find at a dec. price. Its worth it.
If it's for gen. use, & likely 2 b lost/broken; just buy whatever is cheapest. Possibly in bulk. If it is rechargeable, all the better.
I'd lit. go into a store and look in the sale bins.
