I expect that something electronic will eventually fail in the DL2 and the parts will be either unavailable or cost more than a new camera. How long do sensors last, both in exposure numbers and straightforward time? Will the DL2 withstand prolonged exposure to rain? Most likely failure will be something to do with the card connections. After I've broken the battery door off a few times. mike ----------------------------------------- Email sent from www.ntlworld.com Virus-checked using McAfee(R) Software Visit www.ntlworld.com/security for more information -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
