You think this was because my exposure settings were off?
You don't have to be among the top 3 photographers in the world to have perfect exposure. You might not even have to be among the top 1,000,000 photographers in the world to have perfect exposure.

Anyway, gear malfunctions are one thing... but that wasn't the point of my post. You got a bad piece of gear? Replace it. I've had gear fail a number of times, and you just send the thing in to Canon or Nikon and they send you back a working part in 1 week. Gear failure is guaranteed, that's why you bring 2 bodies... 2 lenses... 2 flashes... a week's worth of batteries, and 4-6 32gb CF cards. As long as you've got redundancy, you're covered.
