The components most likely to fail in a piece of electrical/electronic
equipment are switchs. So the way to make cameras more reliable is to
remove the mechanical aperture ring from the lens that is used only
with that lens and replace it with a multi-position, multi-function
switch that is not only used to set aperture with every lens, but also
as a shutter speed switch, an ISO switch, etc. Almost guaranteed to
reduce the usable life of the camera by a factor of 100 or so (To be
honest it also reduces the cost of manufacture by a factor of 2 or
3). This is progress?
