I agree here. To think that the camera could, for instance, hyper Tech Pan
within itself with the proper gas purge, is silly.  At room temperature with
forming gas at atmospheric pressure (I assume the camera is just sealed, not
pressure-tight) it would take weeks to hyper the film inside the camera.

I am a little irritated by the play on words from Taurus.  If they would
simply call it a self-descicating purgable camera I would be delighted with
a new product that shows incremental advancement over previous models.
C'mon guys!  Just call it what it realy is and we will be happy with that.
