Clearing the Air: An Editorial on Product Quality

Mark Goldstein | Digital | February 12, 2004 | 3 Comments

In his latest article Michael Reichmann names and shames a number of camera manufacturers who have released shoddy goods in the last few months. As the digital camera market grows and grows, are new products being introduced before they are ready?

“A lot of products pass across my desk for review. Software, hardware, cameras, gadgets, lenses, accessories — essentially anything and everything to do with photography. The purpose of this brief commentary is to point out a concern that I have been developing regarding the quality of a number of the products that I have seen in recent months.

Simply put, many of them are sub-par. They are poorly designed, have obvious flaws, and in my opinion simply aren’t ready for market.”
