They wait paid off. And I've never gotten a camera hot off its release with the exception of my D200. And that had no problems. Nikon does a rare thing now buy having cameras come out right right off the block. I've just never heard of that happening before. I was told by quite a few people when I got the F2 that is "was Junk" and I should save 50 bucks and get the F which had the respect of the entire profession. My hunch was that the reason why the f2 did not have the respect of the entire profession was that it had just come into existence. I should get the newer prettier smoother more friendly camera. When I'm right I'm right. Companies and people tend to learn as they go along. R&D. Experience.
