- I'm sure no one sets out with the goal of buying a camera with
- undesirable features, but rather finds some features more worthwhile
- than others.
-
- As I've bitterly complained before, it would seem that the marketing
- departments of various camera manufacterers insist on deleting certain
- features because it would place one body in competition with another
- existing body in the line.
-
- Ultimately, the manufacturer out to make more money than the next guy.
- If it finds that it can make more by forcing buyers to move "upscale"
- what can one do?
