In a commodity market nothing really. Everybody does the same thing these days. Only the really top of the line cameras are likely to be anything particularly special or peculiar to the firm who's name appears on the case. On 3/23/2010 10:27 AM, Tom C wrote: What's a reputation worth? Tom

I agree with the reality of commodity objects being nothing special, but I disagree in part, because users, especially first-time users, will form a perception of the brand nevertheless. If I were the first time user of a particular brand and had a poor experience, I'd shy away from that brand
