A vote for Canon, PLEASE

Michael W. said:

There has been much heated discussion on the problem of incorrect
flash exposure execution by the G1 when it is used with a non-Canon
flash in manual mode. Canon representatives whom we have contacted
explicitly stated that Canon did not intend to address this problem
now or in the future. It is time to let Canon know how its
position will affect Canon’s future business and give them a
chance to do something about it. Canon, please note, this forum is
relative small now but with the Internet’s help we collective
can spread further and faster than one can speculate, so please
don’t underestimate consumer power.

To cast your vote, simply reply with the single letter indicating
your vote on the subject line. IF you do not clearly understand
the problem or if none of the vote choices is applicable to you,
please DO NOT VOTE. Links to related discussions are provided
below just in case you want to learn more about this issue before
voting.

Which of the following applies to you?

A. I own a G1 and want to use non-Canon flash on my G1.
Canon’s refusal to address the problem will have negative
impact on my future purchase decisions and possibly recommendation
of Canon products to others.

B. I own a Pro 90 and want to use non-Canon flash on my Pro 90 but
it has the same problem as the G1. Canon’s refusal to address
the problem will have negative impact on my future purchase
decisions and possibly recommendation of Canon products to others.

C. I own a G1 or Pro 90 and don’t intend to use a non-Canon
now, but I do expect Canon to correct this problem. Canon’s
refusal to address the problem will have negative impact on my
future purchase decisions and possibly recommendation of Canon
products to others.

D. I am considering a digital Canon camera. Canon’s refusal
to address this problem will affect my purchase decision.

E. I clearly under stand this problem but it doesn’t affect
me. Whether Canon addresses this problem does not affect my
loyalty to Canon products in any way.

Please cast your vote by replying with the single letter indicating
your vote on the subject line. No elaboration please. We need
your help.
