It's very difficult to know what the perecentage failure of a batch might be, but I guess the manufacturers all cost that into their overall strategy very precisely.
I would speculate that, apart from an occasional real design flaw, most multiple failures relate to a batch of a component from a sub contractor.

I think it would have to be the same photographger using both sets of programs to attempt to produce the same result, to see which gave the better outcome.

I am surprised that after all the years of discussing batteries that
no ones actually taken any apart to see exactly what's inside
and taken a few photos
In the end, everyone will do what they are comfortable with.

Memory cards move in same direction but in different containers. The "pathway" through the Billingham bag is the same though.

Modern cameras are, I suspect, much better than that. Does anybody know any exact figures? Apparently, Pentax gave the highest satisfaction scores in a recent investigation, therefore, by deduction, the lowest dissatifaction/failure rating.
