Build quality?
My major complaint is with the overall finish and build quality of the camera, it really doesn't give you the impression (or the satisfaction) of being $1500 worth of digital camera. Here are my list of gripes concerned with finish and build:
Lightweight plastic hand grip, bad shape (flat faced) and plastic. A rubber, rounded grip would have helped a great deal.
Some of the buttons aren't fitted centrally in their location.
Details like the battery and compact flash compartment door feel flimsy.
The 'rubber grommet' covers for connectors didn't stay in place.
The zoom mechanism doesn't move smoothly, it's stiff and feels as though you're cranking plastic against plastic.
The fly-by-wire manual focus ring wasn't fitted properly and rubbed against the left side of the case.
These details are considered with both lower priced (Fujifilm 6900Z) and directly competitive (Olympus E-10; superb build quality) digital cameras.
