I reckon that regular maintainence and servicing would minimise the problems.

It is call early life failure, QA problem and etc. you name it. :dunno:

If you take care of your gear, it will serve you well for years to come.
Rarely, you get a lemon. Just like a car, you have to maintain and not abuse
it. Less break downs etc.

[longkangman]

No use one even if you are NPS the treatment are very different.
Believe it or not. :dunno:

YMMV

not too sure if it is the known D70 problem.
if it is, the repair is FOC.

oh well i wish i could say money well spent, i guess till next time...*sigh*

Suppose the repair department has to justify its existence.
They may be separate cost centres.
It can cut both ways.

The consumer is cheesed off and never uses the brand again.
(for me that's Toshiba laptops where they wanted to be paid a lot just for inspecting the thing even if nothing is wrong)

Or the company could be forcing you to buy the new model by making repair unbearably costly. If they overdo it, they may lose their customers. But if they are like Ng Ah Sio, then business is too good and to hell with the customer.

Yes, I would certainly take this into consideration next time round. It seems that the servicing fees for NSC are exorbiant! servicing of the 70-200 cost a whopping $280. Service mind you.. no parts replacement required!
Whereas the competitor's normal service is only 100+.
