Not true. For way OT reasons I bought an American car in 1995. It came
with a 3yr/36000mi bumper to bumper warranty. For $700 on a $26,000 car,
I bought an extended 7yr/75,000mi warranty. The camera industry doesn't
provide complete 3yr warranties and the retailer warranty extensions are
way more expensive. The equivalent would be $54 for a 4 year warrenty
extension on a $2,000 camera! Not saying American cars are good or bad,
but that all car warranties are better than any camera warranties. Long
term parts availability is much better too. And they have competently
fixed everything that broke for 6+ years.

You are right, he would be merrily using it. The problem is suppose
it had the same problem 2 years from now and no parts were available
(remember N*ikon told him it was hard to find them now) He, and
rightly so, would be furious. I think that is the point. Hopefully
people would not have such an experience. What would you do if you
spent $2000-$3000 on a camera and 4 years later found out that know
parts were available for a problem? I certainly would not be happy
spending that amount of money without some type of support. This is
kinda like buying an American car ;> (bg).
