Simple, in the hand of happy users
ok it's a joke, but ... like i start months ago the thread of pocket4k happy user to give good voice against bad voice, i answer to you in a simple way : happy user use his tools, unhappy user write on forums.
most of people miss that an happy user not think to write that he is happy, it is granted, unhappy user do it immediately.
about bad quality check i could tell you my history?
redone arrived with many scratch on surface
first Arri Alexa that i used has firmware 0.9, no audio, no more res recording more than FHD, reboot every 5-6 clip recorded (but body is untouched)
gh2 arrived seald without two screw of monitor, back on vendor
gh3 arrived sealed with scratch read the monitor, back on vendor
bmd cinema camera perfect
bmd production camera 4k perfect
SonyA7R battery contact defective, sometimes powerOff standalone, back on vendor
Canon 60D arrived sealed, mount weak, i mount first lenses and mount stay on lens and not on camera
gh5 good but problem on optional log profile
UMP perfect (i scrateched later the paint against internal grid of backpack)
pocket4k (first batch) perfect
fuji xt3 sealed, doa... never power On, replaced after three weeks of waiting from fuji
pocket 6k (first batch) perfect
For my point of view and from my statistics of last ten years, Bmd had best Quality check level... it's only matter of luck, if you check all forum, also for Red, SonyHighEnd cameras (cinealta), Panasonic, Canon, etc... everyone had unlucky situation, in these forums yo can find problems like here : fpn, noise, diffiraction, compression, error on support and more
