See,..The funny thing is neuroanatomist is an extremely active busy little bee and full of adversary comments, without anything positive or of real value to say, just looking for faults in something I might have done or said,...Extremely interesting for someone that does not really care. He pretends that he did not read that the camera stopped working before going to Hawaii. Anyways,... Hope your efforts get compensated accordingly. I have described your type of employee above.
The second funny thing is,...Everyone talks about Condensation like it's the Michael Jackson of reasons for why a circuit board goes bad. That was the rabbit hole we all got sucked into. And I was guilty of that myself.
Fact is, only Canon said it was Condensation initially.
Is it the most probable cause?!
Probably not.
That is the "Everybody weaves" of law enforcement.
When I lived in Ohio, prior to 9/11, police had to have a probable cause to stop a motorist when driving.
They always had it readily available,...."Everybody weaves!"
Hard to prove otherwise.
See, when the consumer has a problem, the manufacturer (And they all do the same - not just Canon, and after Jobs died Apple is doing same thing) instead of trying to find the cause of something and assess the situation objectively they always assume the consumer is to blame.
So even if something has a 2% chance of happening, and some other thing has a 5% of happening, and another thing has a 13% of happening,...they first go through only the list of things that makes them not assume responsibility. Going for the unlikely 20% that could place the fault with the consumer, instead the obvious 80%.
So then, the consumer has to prove their innocence , for the 20%, completely beyond reasonable doubt, and if they are able to do so, only then the manufacturer makes good and assumes responsibility.
Every once in a while the manufacturer comes up with a magic word like Condensation and then, Everybody weaves.
First they said that cameras's circuit boards , if submerged underwater, stop working.
I said Please check for water damage, I guarantee there is none.
That's the 2% they started with.
But then, it came the magic cloud,...Condensation.
The unprovable, all encompassing, mysterious cause from out of space.
Fact is that most likely cause for which my camera stopped working is not Condensation but Bad Circuitry, Bad Wiring etc. But that would mean that it's not my fault,..so let's concentrate on Condensation.
Fact is, again,.... I have 7 working cameras in the house.
Likely Commonsense Conclusion? Condensation not bad.
Is this Condensation a common problem?
Most likely not,...otherwise most cameras would break right away and nobody would buy them.
Ps. The guy with two girls,..You know what I did after I made my baby girl?! I made a boy. He is less petulant.
The idea is,.. I already paid the money. Canon made their $1500 profit for their garbage 7D.
This was mainly a conversation about fair and assuming responsibility, more then anything.
Thank you.
