Re: R10 cheap battery door.

Maybe I’m missing something obvious but it seems like it would be unlikely to break the door in typical use.  I’ve used the R10 quite a bit and the battery door doesn’t feel flimsy to me.  It’s not like you’re going to be using the camera with the door open so the only risk seems to be when you are inserting or removing the battery and for those operations it seems like you’d have to try to break it.  I don’t think it’s something I’d worry about personally.  I haven’t heard any reports of it breaking so far.  I can’t really think of any reason to make the door detachable if a battery grip isn’t going to be available.  It seems like having the door detachable could be a liability as you might accidentally detach it and lose it.  Since there isn’t a planned battery grip for the R10, why make the battery door more complicated than it needs to be?
