Either Nikon has invented an atomic clock that's three orders of magnitude better than the current best, or somebody at Amazon is using floating point where they shouldn't.

or maybe it's just a display issue caused by some weird JS math :p
That falls under the "using floating point where they shouldn't" category. :p
As opposed to what? “250/1000ths of a second”? Representing fractions as strings seems like a pain in the JS. Not trolling, genuinely curious. What do you do when the unit of measure requires/assumes a specific precision? Custom str formatters? Store as ints + formatter function?
0.0025 is cool. Requires something like Rational or BigDecimal as the backing value to present correctly tho.
