I agree completely, but that is not the gist of this thread. Someone -- Carlos? Eric? -- suggested that digital cameras were machine-assembled while high-end film cameras were assembled by hand. You then responded that it took machines to design the innards of digital cameras. I am merely pointing out that the discussion was on production and not design. 

I agree that any high-end camera today is made by CNC machinery.
