EVERYONE! Olympus used to be as solid as a rock when it came to
camera reliability. You rarely ever heard of any kind of failure.

And if you actually read the entire thread you'd have learned that the
error was caused by the user, not the camera or the manufacturer.

But hey, what does the truth mean?

If it was only the update process.
The process is stupidest, most dangerous one there is, relying on a
live online connection to complete it. At Christmas, 2 years ago, I
saw boxes filled with dead E-510/410's at a camera store that
customers had tried to update and had failed. You never saw that with
the bullet-proof process used by Nikon, Pentax, etc,.

So you admit that the user screwed up and that the camera's place of
manufacturer had nothing to do with it? doesn't this mean that your original
post was just another lame attempt at trolling and that you serve no purpose
on this earth and should disappear and never post again? Isn't that what it
all means? Well, that's what I read out of it.
