Not unusual. I sent this email to AP earlier in the year:
"In AP Saturday 28th June you state, on page 4, that the Canon EOS 650 launched in 1987 was "the world's first AF SLR." This is incorrect. The history of autofocus SLRs is a little complicated as it depends on what, exactly, you are looking at but the Pentax ME-F with the AF 35-70 lens (which I still use occasionally) was released in 1981, Nikon's F3AF in 1983, and the Minolta 7000 in 1985. The latter was the most successful and can be still purchased quite cheaply along with a range of lenses. I bought one from a charity shop with a 50mm f/1.4 lens for £40!
Yours sincerely, Kris Lockyear"
I never got an answer...

BTW. Why did this end up in the film cameras section?

I'm one of those lurkers I must admit..
As I only started out with photography just over a year ago I regard myself as a beginner, therefore I don't feel I could actually contribute that much yet.
And secondly, as English isn't my first language it can be a real struggle to write things down correctly...

I do agree with you there to a point ... I would never do certain things, like swap a sky from one shot into another one, or add people in, that kind of thing ... But I do take multiple exposures of the same scene in order to use HDR or exposure blending, but that is with the aim of increasing realism by reproducing the dynamic range more as the eye can see it ... It's not always successful of course, but usually better than a single frame where the camera cannot technically cope with the DR.
And I will happily remove the odd small interference, eg a drink can I hadn't noticed, where it can be cloned out and replaced by its own background ...I have no issue with that at all, and I do not consider it to mean that I failed as a photographer to properly prepare the shot, not at all.
i just wish i cold find the photo i took a few years back down at wittering which was in a storm people said i had played on the computer with that but i hadnt they said it was to chocolate boxy its on a disc some where which we cant find since we moved but then there is lots we still cant find lolI do agree with you there to a point ...
