Well, I was hoping that the list would grant a little more leeway than my 
editors, just for the sake of readability... but obviously I AM still among 
camera owners.? 

"They build Ms for US, for the people who perceive benefits from them that 
make them worth the higher price and will accordingly be willing to PAY 
those higher prices, if and when we can do so.? (Or it's possible they build 
them because they themselves perceive that the internal, external, and 
wholesale marketing benefit they receive from being known as the builder of 
top-level cameras and equipment is worth enough to outweigh the potential 
financial loss associated with building a premium product that may not 
directly repay the full cost of putting it out to customers.)" 

Better now?
