Most of the problems I've had were with a piece of equipment made slightly

The sensor unit in my DS went bad after about 5 years. OTOH, my early
adopter *ist D is still going. I sold my K10D after about 3 years to
get the K7, so my experience with long term DSLRs is 50%

When the thumbwheel on my DS became erratic, I simply sprayed it with
some Radioshack lubricating tuner cleaner.I figured what the hell. It's

I've done the same but many people will never know of this option. I
