That's true--but they want a long term return. It wouldn't do their shareholders any good for them to sell a few hundred M8s, knowing there were serious issues, only to have that end up killing the company. There is no way this was anticipated by anyone at Solms. Look how long it took the reviewers to realize the problems. Sean said he had one or two problem frames out of about 500 images. He ended up buying two M8s. Michael Reichmann liked the camera so much after testing it that he also bought one for himself. I agree completely with everything Peter said to open this thread.
