[QUOTE="mikew_RIP, post: 711698, member: 14174"] Ime sure i detect tones of a personal crusade developing, i see a lot of this with the m4/3 i use, sure the long term service will not be the same the further down the road we go but thats the way of things. My Leica 100-400 is none repairable from an owners point of view,if it goes wrong i can send it back to Panasonic and during warranty they will replace it with a refurbished unit, after warranty i can trade the faulty one back to them and buy a refurbished unit at a discount. Not ideal i know but i see similer situations becoming the norm as we move forward. I do not see the web being inundated with sony camera write of stories due to lack of support, i do see the odd story from owners complaining about many manufacturers but as is the nature only the unhappy post about it and we never get full stories. I cant find it now but i was reading about some aspects of the Nikon 1 series not being repairable any more. [/QUOTE]
