Nice little camera but build quality is questionable.

The average score is 4.2. I gave it 3.5, someone gave it 5 star. That's how things are. What do you want me to do - blindly say it's the best camera ever made? It's not. And it's not the worst either.

I'm pointing out the negatives as I see them. I knew most of the things before I got the camera, but still they could try to improve some of the things I mentioned, even in entry level cameras. I know it's not typical for Canon to load entry level DSLR's with top-range features (pentaprism VF, AF adjustment, bigger buffer) and if some other brand does it, they probably take out something else (expensive glass, other features). I'm using it heavily and it has given me lots of good images, but I'm trying to be as objective as possible, so sory if I offended some of Canon's die hard fans here.

I love canon as much as I have two canon cameras and quite a lot of lenses, but I'm not a blind follower.

How about posting some pictures of the damage on your and your friend's 100Ds?

That's it? I tried that on mine and found it does that too, and I had to work at it a bit to get it to happen. It seems it's simply not glued there. Nor does it seem like it needs to be glued since it took very deliberate action on my part to make it happen and it snaps right back as if it never happened. It's not like the covering is peeling off in great chunks on it's own. Much ado about nothing.

Good for you. Be happy then. I hate to say it, but fanboys will be fanboys -

LOL...Your attempt to denigrate me with namecalling says much more about you than it does about me.

I simply have no brand loyalty. I've used Canon, Samsung, Sony, Fuji, Olympus, Pentax, Minolta, Sigma, Tamron, and other brands. I use what works for me, brand notwithstanding.

you fail to see the obvious. Also my friend's grip has fallen off completely, but he doesn't want to show pictures because he's a fanboy and as he said to me "I don't want Sony fanboys to start mocking us"

Why should anyone believe that? What you showed required deliberate action on my part to duplicate. Why should I believe the covering of your your friend's camera simply fell off. I'm sure I could deliberately remove the covering completely as well.

I'm not ashame to say what I think and don't care what others have to say about that

Apparently you do care or you wouldn't be so defensive as to stoop to namecalling to support your statements.

- That's my own opinion.

Seems it's not only your opinion, it's your agenda.

That doesn't mean I'm not generally happy with my camera but I do believe they are crippling their products deliberately .

LOL.
