If you are thinking of spending a lot of hard earned cash on a photographic system does the financial health of the manufacturer play any part at all in your decision?

No.

The quality of the manufacturer does. Nikon posted a profit last quarter.

As long as my equipment works, quarterly results mean nothing to me, I am not a stockholder.

Are not 'quality of the manufacturer' and its financial health not inextricably linked?

Not over a single quarter, no.

This is the third thread I have seen on this subject on this website. People here seem to enjoy getting riled up.
