In the past 15 years, I have purchased five Lumix cameras including the new L10 (which I have yet to receive). I like their cameras a lot. The dedication to pursue this battle is another reason I am certain to buy more.

I have been very lucky with a washer/dryer pair from Samsung that have only needed two minor repairs in 12 years of near-daily use. A heating element for the dryer. A new door seal and, later, a pump for the washer. My 7 year old LG in

acdsee, at least a few years ago when I was using it for large volume jpg commercial work, is fast and often good enough. The trickier stuff went for a spin in Photoshop.
