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 “universal moments” of child rearing are in fact nothing less than a confrontation with the most basic problems of living in society: a facing through one’s children of all the conflicts inherent in human relationships, a clarification of issues that were unresolved in one’s own growing up. The experience of child rearing not only can strengthen one as an individual but also presents the opportunity to shape human relationships of the future.”
—Elaine Heffner (20th century)
“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)
