Well after that experience I can certainly understand your reasoning. That sucks 🙁 But I had pretty much the same issue with admittedly cheaper technology from Canon. My A1 powershot had an internal component that failed and they issued a recall. I signed up for the recall but when they received my camera they said there was too much other damage to the casing (from dropping it multiple times during rock climbing in Nevada) that they couldn’t be sure the faulty part was to blame. I told them the camera worked fine for 2 years after I stopped living in Nevada and I had pictures to prove it. After 2 months of haggling they said they would keep my camera for further testing. I’ve never gotten in back. Ended up buying a Samsung P&S about a year later when I started doing Farktography.
Actually I would say both hard and soft infrastructure is fair game for this contest if you want to enter it. Although whether we need the government to live right now is probably one of those questions… 😉
