Response to Pulling Focus

from Aaron Gum (nutra@novia.net)
Beware, the XL-1 is as good as everyone says, but it's also very weakly put together. In my first day owning it I found a flaw in the "3d prism array". I had to ship it back for repairs after my first week. Then a month later the ring that holds the lens fell off, seriously. It's only held on by 5 little screws going into plastic, if I hadn't noticed it the lens could have fell off during use. It cost me about $900 to fix this. The Xl-1 is a nice camera, but if you can't afford to spend all you're money on a camera that could easily break on you then don't get it. It seems like I'm the only person with these problems, but it has been a major set back for me.
