Please, you know thats not what this thread is about and nobody insulted Nikon corp for this.. embarrassment or however you want to call it. Plenty of Nikon models had some kind of problems in the past. As did some Pentax models. But Nikon still enjoys a sterling reputation, while some people seem to assume Pentax falls apart after the first month of use.
Im not even going to talk about how much better, more solid, Pentax cameras feel in hand compared to Nikon cameras of the same price.
