[Leica] Lifespan of digital cameras

[henningw at archiphoto.com (Henning Wulff)]

One of the issues with digital cameras, and why they often might seem 
to have a short lifespan is that

a) They are expensive to fix,
b) Parts are not readily at hand and cannot be installed by just any 
good camera technician,
c) After a couple of years fixing a camera that cost $750 new doesn't 
make a lot of sense if a new, better feature camera of a similar type 
costs the same as the repair. That's not really the fault of the 
camera, but purely a function of the fact that digital cameras are 
mostly computers, and Moore's Law comes into the equation.
