I understand designers want to keep their coast clear by not making design flaws, but it's difficult not to see some of the recent "issues" as design flaws.
A VR should be tested intensively before claiming "it's good for up to 4 stops longer shutter speeds".
Oil leaking shutters could also be discovered in advance - except the serial version is a different manufactured version than the prototypes were.
Left AF issue in D800 isn't a design flaw per se - that's the problem of bringing it in a high precision assembly line. But then, maybe the assembling of the AF module is too complicated to be reliable? maybe the whole mirror - AF- module - shutter complex is more fragile than it's designers imagined?
D800/E and the massive shutter/mirror impact causing motion blurr - nobody saw that in the prototype version? Why do they even care to test then?
Last not least we users blowing up each thing we don't understand nor don't care to read the manual to become an "issue" and expecting alltime super miraculous hightech for close to no money and if somebodyask for a 4-digit price tag, it has to be bloody perfect. But early adopters had a hard time with Nikon during the last 3 years.
