[QUOTE="Otto, post: 108852, member: 12681"] I Can't say it doesn't hurt, but these days, I have come to expect it(!) Just getting more cynical with old age... Just about every electronic gadget I have ever had, from walkmans to portable CD players to computers have ALWAYS ended up in the trash can long before their time, meaning there is always a single little part that goes bust and they no longer make those parts, or that it was proven to be prohibitively expensive to repair meaning you are better off buying the latest new version(!) The outside of these things all look pristine and even the chassis, often made of non corrosive alloys, look like new, but somewhere in the guts, something always tend to rot and there goes the whole story. I am very gentle with my care and use so really, there is no excuse except BAD QUALITY CONTROL. I have had endless motherboard replacements just after their warranty period which amounts to a new rebuild of my computer every 2.5 years (don't even mention printers!) and you know what, my latest iphone has a p***-weak battery and therefore depends on 3rd party car-chargers, which when plugged in, responds with "charging with this accessory is not supported!!"...and this is after I bought these things from official Apple Reps.(returned, thank you very much...) Sorry to sound off a bit, but it's the sign of the times...I just want a camera that goes to 100,000+ clicks as they are supposed to. O. [/QUOTE]
