Suckers.

How nice.

My own sample size with Canon is literally dozens, which is
statistically valid, and I also use the experience of many others.

Regardless, "Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me."

which is common, and why branding is such a big
factor in the market.

That's how lotteries sell so many tickets. People ignore the
statistics and rely upon sampling only the winners.

For some people, certainly, but many people gamble for the
entertainment, which has a cost just like any other form of commercial
entertainment.

Of course, if you have a bias against Canon then you ignore the
statistics which shows them to be reliable and you focus instead on
the inevitable problems that every manufacturer has.

I have experience, not bias.
