 * ah, lets recap the highlights of the screw ups shall we? […] 4) lack of extensive liner notes on Its Hard (with poor bonus track selections), and major skip (not once but twice‼) on You’ve Got It In You (sic)… slight oversightly mistakes… no… major blunders‼

 * Also, if you don’t like the look, feel and handling of the camera – don’t buy it! I have it, and I like the oversightly LCD display. But, it’s not very fast in handling.

 * I’d translate it as “oversightly” — note that it’s a neologism in my personal ideolect, and remember that it means something like “giving a good oversight of (itself)”.
