Originally posted by soppy Seems like a pretty bad shortcoming for a $1,500 camera. Why couldn't they put the same mechanism in the front as they had in the back?
Perhaps they don't have the same amount of room at the front as they have at the back. I doubt very much if these things are traditional rheostats, I suspect they are an optical sensor that needs a little bit of time to register and spinning the wheel really fast causes it to miss.
In other words, user error.
Consider that if every body was QC'd up to to ensuring that there were absolutely no bad cameras leaving the factory, it wouldn't be a $1500.00 camera any more, it would be closer to a $2000.00 camera.
Would you be willing to pay that much of a premium to ensure product perfection without crabbing about the price?
