It's a shame that you were treated poorly, Jeffery.
Yet, that has not been my experience.
Slow in communication? Sometimes. But not always.
When my first R8 died they handled it in about three weeks, returning  
it DOA, and finally, within another week, with a new body and weekly  
updates (using mail).
When my M8 shutter faulted they handled it in about three weeks,
returned phone calls within a day or two and the camera's been  
working without a hitch since.
When a dial fell off the DMR they handled it within 10 days.
My 28 cron was coded within about 10 days with clear reasonable  
communication along the way.
It is a small company.

Fond regards,
George
