It's not till you've used it a few months, even a year or so, before you realize what pieces fall off first and what the camera can stand up to.

In fact my friend opened a restaurant in HK around half a year ago, he was contacted by the biggest gourmet website in HK- asking him to pay $ 200,000 HKD to secure 'positive' reviews. not only product reviews, but also restaurant and hotel reviews!
