I would think there would also be a problem with planned obsolescence beyond
new advances. Didn't someone mention a while back they had a flatbed scanner
for a year and a half before it broke and became cheaper to replace than
repair? I think I'd also be afraid that an expensive digital camera might
have important components planned not to last beyond 3-5 years, if that.
That would certainly force the owners to purchase the newer cameras, with
little or nothing to show for a trade-in. In the world of electronics, it's
certainly not without precedent.
