"Camera will not work with CompactFlash or other digital media cards. You must buy a cartridge of tape, which allows for just 24 shots. No LCD screen for image playback.
Extremely frustrated and returned item."

One man's Mede is another man's Persian.
It just shows how absolutely worthless online reviews are.

It's not worthless, it's good to warn potential buyers that you need to get the tape cartridges to work with that camera.

Did you see the original reviewers reply/ update?
"UPDATE: After extensive research into "film photography" over the last two days, I now understand a fair amount about the subject. As a result, I have no plans to reorder the F6, but I do have a shipment of film canisters (Kodak) coming so that I can test them in my brand new Digital Nikon SLR. I think it is remarkable how old technology like filmstrips can produce resolution greater than my CompactFlash cards. Seeing will be believing."

The guy who wrote that was kidding. It was meant to funny, but certainly wasn't immediately obvious to everyone. There were a lot of comments (on the Amazon review) from other users calling this guy and idiot and worse. There were a scant few - just a few, has it gotten this bad? - who could appreciate a little satire and sarcasm on such hallowed ground.
Anyway, I thought it was funny and wanted to pass it on...
Can you prove that? It would not surprise me in the least if someone really is that stupid. There's nothing to indicate he's making a joke, other than the fact it's so stupid most of us think it must be one.
A product review page is not Comedy Central.
If he fails to understand that, he really is as stupid as he appears.

I didn't think it was a joke. When it first became famous I poked around the guy's other reviews and my take was that he was serious. Not sure, that was just my guess.
And don't you have to buy it from Amazon in order to review it? Seems like a lot of trouble for a joke.
