I was disappointed in Nikon when I started having trouble with the battery door on my 990 (cost almost a grand when I bought it). The little housing the batt door finger went into broke off and after repairing it (CA) a few times, it was no good. They basically told me it was time for a new camera, they wouldn't help.

After many, many years as a Nikon owner, I bought a Canon. Been very happy with it too.
