*Sigh* I think some still miss the point. Electronic consumer goods (which I originally brought up anyhow) are very suseptable to a variety of things. Moisture damage, breaking when dropped, and malfunctioning. One can then assume that a consumer digital camera or DSLR would also be that way, because it's a consumer electronic good. The other point was that many of these consumer goods are cheaper to replace than fix, and what would happen to a DSLR after warranty is up. I posed the question, didn't give an answer.
