NO way jose, my post is logical and based on the way the real world works. That's my contention. If you want to say its "shit" theory then I can say your opposition is "shit" theory and ask you to prove it ISNT TRUE.
I do not have to prove or disprove my statements any more than you have to prove or disprove yours. So the bottom line is that position is my contention. If you want to PROVE me wrong beyond just saying its "shit" then you are welcome to do so but the one who will have to do the homework is you not me. I suggest you read it again because I said it COULD cost them less than nothing. I didn't say I KNEW FOR AN ABSOLUTE FACT that it definitely would. And I followed it up with the basic fact that adding features is a decision thats relatively simple if you can add a feature for less cost per unit than you can raise the selling price without hurting or increasing sales then its profitable and should be done... Basic business ecomonics. I never said only offer at same selling price. READ THE THREAD. And one more thing, this is kind of embarrasing to tell you , there IS NO WAY to absolutely prove or disprove these things so save yourself some time and don't bother to research it..They are done based on best estimates but sometimes things don't work out as well as planned and sometimes things work out much better than planned. Its not an exact science. That's why I said COULD. jco -----Original Message----- From: William Robb [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, September 22, 2005 7:36 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: Camera engineering (was Re: Rename request) ----- Original Message ----- From: "J.

Take into account the entire DSLR market, and not just this inbred group of enthusiasts. Give us the numbers, how much exactly, taking into consideration the extra R&D for the camera, ramping up the extra asembly, etc. In fact, please list all costs of adding this feature, right down to the addition to the owners manual regarding the use of non A lenses for us. Then tell us how much more they could sell the camera for before it lost sales based on lack of other features or performance for it's price class. Then show us if it is a win money or lose money thing. You came up with this shit, now prove it. Or shut up. William Robb
