It could be a issue, I don't know yet, I just own a Olympus C2000 for one
year and it still work fine. But I think Olympus should keep parts for at
least three years.
On the other hand I will probably not use it one or two years later. DC does
not like normal camera, you can take the same quality picture with a 30
years old camera but for a DC if you get another one that is much better in
picture quality (e.g 4M pixel) you will not use your old one.
