Yeah, but his comment got me to thinking. Older manual cameras were sometimes defined by the number of exposures one could reasonably expect from them. They could also be easily repaired (note the longevity of Spotmatics, Leicas, Rolleiflexes, 'blads, Nikons, etc.) easily enough because, as mechanical cameras, adjustments could be made, parts scavanged from other cameras, and parts could sometimes be fabricated quite readily. Look at the number of functioning Spotties here, take a look at my Leicas when we next meet, see how many people are using older Nikons and Canons. I've not seen any specs about the estimated longevity of D cameras.
