I know all if not most people who sent in their cameras in for repair got a new camera, but since most of the reported problems are with the rangefinder, the Epson customer support person thought that with a gauge problem, they should be able to fix it. The bad news is that they did send me a new camera. This doesn't bode well since when the warranty expires, this means that most likely we will have to rely on 3rd party to fix anything. Someone just reported on the photo.net site that DAG did fix his camera's rangefinder problem but this is disturbing in that sense. Oh well, I guess just have to take lots of pictures before warranty expires :-) The good news is that now I have 3 batteries and they are very difficult to get a hold of :-). Also, the serial # of the new camera is one of those extremely lucky number in Chinese numerology! // richard (This email is for mailing lists.
