[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]I have used Canon, Nikon, Olympus, Panasonic and Leica digital cameras. I have had 5 Canons, 4 Nikons, 4?Olympi, 2 Panasonics and 3 Leicas. I have only had a fault with one, a Nikon D300. All the others have been fine. I have had faults with 2 lenses, one a Canon who's auto iris stopped working when almost new, one a Nikon which was faulty out of the box, new. I guess I have been lucky!
