My _impression_ (which is what most of us have - if I was
really anal about it I would have logged this) is that out
of, say, sixty users, there have been about six (at least)
return/repairs. That seems quite high to me. Anyone care to
poll on the matter?
I bet there are many more than 60 out here now. The only problem I've had
with mine, was down to the nicads finally on their way out. The other thing
to note is how many exposures there are taken between problems. I know I've
shot way way more with the ist D than with a film camera, and the more I use
it the more impressed I am with it.
I'm talking about 60 people who use and post. My impression is that
quite a high proportion of those have had enough trouble to need
intervention by either return or repair. It is entirely possible that
my impression may be skewed by people posting about their problems when
they are not part of the "normal" posting group.
