Lettering wearing off camera body at DVinfo.net

Charles Dasher · January 29th, 2008, 11:45 PM

After a couple of weeks of use the lettering that marks the controls is wearing off my EX1's body. The ND FILTER and SEL/SET can not be read any more.

This will be a real problem should I want to rent the camera and it will certainly make the camera look more used than it might actually may be.

Are other users experiencing this as well?

yes, me too. I scrapped off the fading lettering on the back wheel. It looks better. Now I use the joystick on top instead, much better.

Here's the next cottage industry opportunity: replacement, heavy-duty labels.

It does feel strange to say this but somehow they have managed to kinda save on the right places :)
