When the F3 was ending its day as the king of SLRs, the first year failure rate was, I believe, 0.5 percent according to one Nikon rep. I talked to. Darn pretty impressive. And I really doubt the R8 had a 20 percent failure rate even in the beginning. - -- Eric Welch St. Joseph, MO http://www.ponyexpress.net/~ewelch Backups?
