Re: Owning a WB850F, my thoughts

While being only an occasional hobby photographer, I do understand your point. I know from my experience as developer in a different but related field that the complex management structure of a very large company ironically often dooes not allow for common sense towards their customers. Software releases are usually rushed in with significant problems remaining. Marketing agenda's have seldom anything to do with the actual quality of the product and satifaction of the buyer, which is sad. Product and project managers are usually geared to meet deadlines that are often set way too short by their superiors. The blame cannot be placed onto the developer, who often works more that 12 hours a day on multiple projects and is seldom given enough time to really finish. If something takes too long, to meet the "bottom line", the upper management usually decides to abandon the problem - to either discontinue or in some cases to outsource which is even worse. Although there are exceptions, but smaller companies, who do not have this problem seldom make it very far. Understanding this, makes it very hard to buy anything these days.

Anyhow, I am probably not as much disappointed as you are, but the root cause of dissatisfaction that you describe can be found in pretty much all trades of life.
