As far as I know, US law requires manufacturers to stock electrical
parts for 7 years, mechanical parts for 5 years, and cosmetic parts for
3 years. In practice, many companies ignore the law because they know
they can get away with it.
Therefore...
As it appears the OM system will be discontinued in the next two or
three years (possibly sooner), this group should approach Olympus and
"insist" that they provide _all_ parts for current OM cameras for at
least 10 years after they are discontinued.
I, for one, have too much money invested in my OM system to have to
worry about what will happen if my camera body fails and cannot be
repaired. I am almost 52, expect to live at least another 25 years, and
have no desire to buy another camera system.
