Only think I know of to watch out for is that some will drain their
batteries flat in a very short time (as little as 2-3 days) even when >the
switch is off. You should be able to check this with a multimeter.

Is this drainage thing a random problem with some F280s or is it akin to the
drainage problem with the OM4 ...... a known issue but which can be fixed.
If the problem is random does this indicate an inherent problem with all
F280s ....... poor design / circuitry for instance. I certainly do not want
to buy a pig in a poke!
