No argument from Manual etc. AROD hit a line shot and the umpires felt (and IMo rightly so) that if the camera was not there the ball would have cleared the fence.
All in all as mentioned there was not a HUGE delay in making the decision compared to some NFL / College replays.

From what I read (dont remember where) this in not true.
It was a matter of a ground rule as opposed to a judgement if the ball would have been a HR if it did not hit the camera. The review to to confirm that the ball hit the camera, and then by ground rule, it was a HR.
