Regarding the sensor scratch do you grasp the concept that the user may have scratched the sensor? Or if it was not the user that no manufacturer is perfect? You know, your life would probably be much better if you figured out some of these basic facts of life. How old are you?

They went through a bleak period when they were owned by Lear-Siegler, whose philosophy seemed to be "keep retail price low by shifting Quality Assurance to the buyer." Nothing to do with cameras, I know, but a not-uncommon practice in mass production. Even BMW, whose marketing hype would have you believe their products to be hand-burnished and assembled by Bavarian virgins, have had the odd rough patch. -- quatsch |

Japanese companies have a philosophy of testing each and every product they ship, not a random sample. This goes from lightbulbs to high end equipment. This philosophy is based on the writings of an American whose name I have forgotten. It doesn't mean one item could not be bad from day one, but the chances are very very slim. Jean |

Rich, just curious, regarding #1 above do you grasp the concept that there are anal people out there who will find problems with everything? Focus is focus, it's either in or not. Not picky to want it to work. Regarding the sensor scratch do you grasp the concept that the user may have scratched the sensor? Or if it was not the user that no manufacturer is perfect? Some are "less perfect" than others. Camera retailer the other day told me he likes it when a Nikon or Olympus sells because he knows there only is a very remote chance it will come back with a problem. The amount of work needed = profit on the sale, ultimately. |

Compare a S&W revolver made in 1972 with one made in the late 1980s. They are like night and day when it comes to finish, fit and function. |
