1. you are assumeing that these DSLRs will never need service 2. can be more reliable means just that. A pair of pliers has moving parts, when was the last time you had a pair that didn't work? 3. Yes moving parts eventually wear out, but that's no reason to remove key features of a camera because some part may wear out someday. Your argument of stripping out key features just because it involves a moving part is silly, might as well get rid of the shutter too and shoot everything with your hand in front of the lens as the shutter too? jco

This is the best camera they made, apparently All three have needed service because of flakey metering components. Either the ISO resistor or the aperture simulator resistor has been faulty on all three of my cameras. On one of them, this has been a multiple repair issue. Can be more reliable?
