[QUOTE="spb_stan, post: 665141, member: 43545"] I think you are referring to Sony which has the policy of orphaning products after very short product cycles by dropping product support and parts soon after a model is stopped being produced. I will never buy Sony due to that corporate policy. I was able to get some parts from Nikon for a D90 not long ago. Sony is dropping support for models still sitting on store shelves. I was burned badly by Sony once. Along time ago I bought a PCM3324 digital multitrack tape deck for $124,000 and $19000 for its controller console. and 1 year later dropped the product for a new model so dropped parts availability. Those and every tape deck had common wear items replaced periodically and when those items stopped being available the value of your investment goes to almost $00.00 Their only answer was to buy the new version for $146,000. This was when the median 3brd house price was $89,000. Canon is pretty good with old parts but I don't Canon because they orphaned my entire lens collection, 27 Canon lenses used on my A1 I loved in the film era. They dropped that mount film mount when they started digital. When I went digital, Nikon was my only real choice being so much better fit and trim,egonomics and dynamic range than Canon. [/QUOTE]
