If I had such a run of bad luck I'd be looking for a common influence. How about a bad SD card that you've used in all the cameras? Do you download the cards with a card reader or by connecting your cameras to your computer (possible bad usb ju-ju)? Do you get funky humidity where you live? How about EMF interference?
I speak from experience. A while ago my little family moved in with the in-laws while our house was being renovated. Every single piece of computer gear that I ever plugged in there crapped out in the following two years, and the computer itself had a power supply unit fail and replaced while there. My brother-in-law has had well above the odds of premature failures himself. regards, Anthony "Of what use is lens and light to those who lack in mind and sight" (Anon) On 3 June 2010 15:42, MikeM <mmo45...@bigpond.net.au> wrote: > My K-100 lasted a couple of years before starting to reboot intermittently > and Pentax said it needed the circuit board replaced.
