The current turnover in digital appeal for whatever reason ..... size, build
quality, lens quality, etc ...... is in marked contrast to my desire to
turonover my M3, dated to November 1960 and with a s/n well in excess of 1
million. It works as well today as the day it was made.
Perhaps digital cameras, regardless of brand, are built today to be turned
over every two years akin to the life span of your cell phone.
Sad don't you think ?
