My ZX-5n, bought in December 1998 (which as I recall was shortly after its introduction) is still autofocusing quite nicely. I had not seen the autofocus complaints myself. I have seen complaints about the pop-up flash mechanism breaking, which did happen to mine; and the film transport mechanism going bad, which also happened to mine (both fixed under extended warranty a while back and behaving properly thereafter.)
