Known Issues
A known issue with the camera was the battery compartment door, which was made of plastic. A somewhat cumbersome dual-action latching mechanism for the battery door often complicated this issue and if operated incorrectly could result in damage. Any damage to the battery door was troublesome, as the camera would not work at all if the door is unlatched. Fortunately the door was and is an inexpensive part and could be replaced simply. Otherwise the (new to the 950) magnesium body proved a durable and rugged upgrade from the 900.
Other known issues include the rubber finger grip which could come loose, and while it caused no functional issues it was bothersome and affected the 'feel' of the camera in the shooting mode. The grip could be replaced with simple rubber cement. (Note: the grip is missing in the photo above.)
The body swivel bearing could become a bit wobbly over time. The 950 featured a much larger and improved bearing than the 900 and the loose bearing did not affect performance.

Famous quotes containing the word issues:
“The current flows fast and furious. It issues in a spate of words from the loudspeakers and the politicians. Every day they tell us that we are a free people fighting to defend freedom. That is the current that has whirled the young airman up into the sky and keeps him circulating there among the clouds. Down here, with a roof to cover us and a gasmask handy, it is our business to puncture gasbags and discover the seeds of truth.”
—Virginia Woolf (1882–1941)
“To make life more bearable and pleasant for everybody, choose the issues that are significant enough to fight over, and ignore or use distraction for those you can let slide that day. Picking your battles will eliminate a number of conflicts, and yet will still leave you feeling in control.”
—Lawrence Balter (20th century)
