I definitely won't argue technical areas, I'm not qualified :) All I know is if it's electronic, it'll break, or malfunction, and they don't go in for repairs, they give you a new one with a warranty, or you pay out of your child's tuition savings to replace it. :)
Two things, I've talked about my buddy who has a Kodak DC whatever, 2mp, many options, big glass, sweet pictures. He dropped it from 3-4ft onto carpet, guess what.....it broke....the body was badly cracked. Now, it still works, but I'm sure it's very vulnerable now to breaking/malfunctioning. Second, while I won't try to prove this point, but if I dropped or banged my Optio 230, I'd bet the farm it'll break. I would really like to know what a person would do for the DSLRs out there that break/malfunction after the 1 year warranty is up? Anyone know?
