I'm not sure about your point here. Yeah, I could have purchased the camera from an online shop and return it now. It would have been a little unfair though - basically I only verified whether the 1st sample was correct and why should a shop suffer from that ? I reckon that I will look 200EUR here but that's not excessive. The camera to be sold is in perfect condition and fully within manufacturer specifications. I will not recommend the NEX 7 to anyone but that doesn't mean that I will just throw it into the next trash bin.

....well the shop (ex. the manufacturer) is selling the 'super' gear, not you - they have no loss, they will continue to sell it on, no problems, 'in perfect condition.....etc' .... and who knows, but maybe if the shop receives enough rejects they(with some influence?) might question the manufacturer and request a better product .... maybe?....hopes....
- possibly the difference for me is that if i find gear to be quite unsatisfactory, not as stated to be 'super' by whoever, i'm not prepared to resell it to someone who may not see the problems at first....so essentially i give it away....possibly this is stupid, but at least i'm out of it
- and fortunately, now i have reduced the shops/brands/importers/resellers/review-sites i use down to a very few - i have found that this saves much time and money and has stopped the urge to rush out to buy the latest and greatest - but then this little bunny(yours truly) is not a review site that needs the gear
