I don't get it, well maybe I do. I want the best deal for my money, with the implicit realization that nothing lasts forever.
Given their envisioned life expectancy and limited possibility of repair after ~ 1 year, I value the current crop of DSLRs at no more than �60. No matter how swanky, I am not going to pay at least an order of magnitude more for something that is inherently disposable. And produces worse results than I can manage at the moment 8-)

This all get's back to philosphy I think. The camera shop is a capitalist venture, hoping to make as much profit off me as possible. The company I work for hopes to pay me as little as possible and mark up my rate to the end client as high as possible, again maximizing profit. So should I dupefully turn a blind eye and take it on the chin, or should I as a smart consumer, try to conserve as much of my capital as possible, making it stretch further?
If you were going to do that you would not be buying expensive consumer goods that, if they fail in say three years time, will be unfixable.
