[QUOTE="BackdoorArts, post: 144722, member: 9240"] This guy is a little all over the place. He makes a blanket statement about complaining about issues up front and then limits the support discussion to testing at extremes. I absolutely agree with the argument, but not the premise. Test charts are necessary in order to compare different yet similar equipment apples-to-apples. And while I agree with the statement about early adopters, I can't say that I've seen "recalls" of anything problematic recently from Nikon - the closest was a non-admission of the bad shutter/dust on the sensor thing with the D600. While the pervasiveness of the problem may have been overemphasized by internet forums (10 people bitch for every person who speaks up and says things are great), it was definitely a problem - and may still be. So was left-focus on the D800. Then there are designed in issues like buffer sizes. But he has a point of people who look for things to complain about. Like me concerned being about him doing videos stoned like that. ;) [/QUOTE]
