Doug... any comments to make in light of parts availability going south?
Have you found a camera to use when the DMR breaks and really becomes a
paper weight?

I've been off-list for a while & happened to see this post - 

My primary DMR returned from Solms last Monday after a mechanical repair and 
a clean bill of health (cost: $0.00).  The R8 didn't do as well but since it 
returned with a 1-year guarantee I paid for its repair.

I bought a second DMR shortly after the R system was discontinued and people 
were panicking about parts supply.  Since there are good power supply 
options and both DMRs are working well I haven't seriously looked at other 
equipment.  If both DMRs were to die tomorrow I'd pack silica gel around my 
lenses for a while: big veterinary bill coming up soon, photo equipment is a 
lower priority.
