I'm curious why the following three camera reviewers totally missed a veryserious and obvious flaw in the Nikon Coolpix camera lineup.The flaw is the infamous Nikon coolpix flimsy battery door latch molded asa thin, easily broken loop of plastic on the coolpix camera body. The fixhas been described in various ways by various users in other threads. Thefix isn't the point of this thread.DPREVIEW didn't even test camera integrity: totally missed the mark:'S DIGICAMS was clueless: question I am incensed about and very curious about is how could thereviewers I trusted have been so inanely incompetent to have totally missedthe fact the camera would inevitably turn into a brick due to the obviouspoor engineering that wasn't visible to the consumer but which should havebeen wholly obvious to the "professional" camera reviewer?Is it that the reviewers are:- Paid by the camera manufacturers to tout their products?- Paid by the advertisers to tout the manufacturer's products?- Clueless?- ??? or ???

I'm curious what this has to do with home repair?

Why did the professional camera reviewers totally miss a serious flaw in the camera?

Metal duct is pretty rare in the south. They use fiberglass "duct board" that gets taped together with metal backed tape. When A/C is you main use, ducts are in the attic and humiidity is 90+ metal will sweat like a pig. Garden variety duct tape won't last a year.

Some american hardware stores stock duct tape with the trade name Duck.
