My D750 was missing the hot shoe cover and the little cover for the view finer.
Jake, I get your point. It makes me wonder where else corners are cut, like did they also go with a cheaper component inside the camera or lens that I'll end up paying a whole lot more for later? I seem to remember my dad asking about the same when I bought my first Nikon, an FM. It had the protector, but it was nowhere like the one that came with his Minolta (or was it a Mimaya?) that completely covered the top of the hot shoe rails, as well.

Pretzel, I get where you're going with corporations getting cheap, but I've also got to put some of the blame on consumers, as well. How many people shop on price alone, and will buy a piece of junk to save a penny? Maybe it's our throw-away society with the attention span of a fruit fly's life that allows this to happen, but the majority of consumers just don't care. Which is troubling.

Actually, fruit flies have a life span of 40-50 days. A better example would be a Mayfly, which only lives for 24 hours. Just saying
I actually work in a "Customer Service" function, so I get to train folks just beginning their careers about the value of service and give them examples of businesses that aren't necessarily the "cheapest", but have fantastic reputations because of the level of service they provide. I'm one of the "not so many" that doesn't shop just for price...
Unfortunately, I think I'm one of the dwindling few.

Run out of printer ink? Just throw the printer away and get a new one because they're so cheap, and it costs more to buy the ink cartridges.
