I'll say:

I haven't had it long enough nor used it enough to have experienced the 
problems Tina describes; a friend bought it at the same time (i.e., last 
week) and he says so far so good as well. He's tried it with some 
landscapes, which seem much improved using it. I've mainly fiddled with 
it on a shot (digital raw) of a dog with blown out white markings.  I've 
been able to recover some detail using it.

But it is early.

There are some examples if you go to 
http://www.fredmiranda.com/shopping/DRI and then click on 'Full 
description and samples'.

At least on the monitor our corrected images look ok to us.  Prints we 
haven't tried yet.
