I have read that long exposure to heat will kill LCDs more quickly. I
understand that about 5 years ago replacing Nikon LCDs became a brisk
business. I have not heard since whether technological advances have
improved the lifetime of LCDs. I would think so.
I am curious whether the 10 years is related active use, or just
decomposition with age whether activated or not. Would it more predictive
to relate the lifetime to number of rolls run through the camera, or just
the year you bought the camera?
