My rocker on my 305 has started to creak, and when pressed fully but gently the plastic structure around it gives a crack loud enough for the mic to pic up in quite conditions..

Am I alone?

I don't have a 305 but I had to send back my xa10 because the rocker on the handle started to go bad and not work all the time. And I had a xf100 that had a very hard to press and loud record button if your thumb was not perfectly centered on it.
