I have a Noblex 135U that I travel with and use frequently. It is certainly a
camera that requires some care in using. I have had, at various times, left the
power switch on, depleting the battery; had the batterh grip loosen and come
off, depressed the shuuter without the power being on; put the switch in the
wrong range, etc etc. In usability terms, a Nikon F5 it's not! But I have never
had any failures of any kind other than these eronomics issues.
