Maybe this is yet another reason to choose an Oly iS ZLR camera before one
of the usual telezoom compacts. At least I'm not aware of any problems on
the later iS models. Seen over a five year period the price of a Mju
telezoom compact plus the expected repair cost would probably be higher than
the price of an iS-30(0) without repair.
