a We've had more complaints from customers than ever before regarding the camera range.
b We've had more complaints from customers regarding the camera range being faulty.
c We've had more complaints from customers regarding the camera range.

The problem is that I find the phrase stuffy bizspeak and avoid it like the plague. If you must, I can live with these; they are the simplest:
a We've had more complaints from customers than ever before regarding the camera range.
c We've had more complaints from customers regarding the camera range.
You understand that this has nothing to do with correct structure? It is
a We've had more complaints from customers than ever before regarding the camera range.
c We've had more complaints from customers regarding the camera range.

Mister MicawberYou understand that this has nothing to do with correct structure? It is a my idiosyncrasy.I had a feeling. I would also avoid the awkward phrasing you stated was bizspeak, but I'm all for building a repertiore of any kind. As to sounds more awkward again, I think.
