1. Can't speak for all Mfgs but in the day Olympus wouldn't repair mew models under warranty but

would replace them so the factory defect could undergo an "autopsy" and make production line changes, Once done the product was completely gone through and refurbished to possibly better-than-new condition. Oly called them "class 2" and sold them to employees and retail sales people at ridiculously low prices, a way to build brand loyalty.

Now these products are sold directly to the consumer as refurbished. Everything I own is refurbished and I've never had an issue with any of them.

Also, modern electronics just don't fail after the first few uses--it's called "infant mortality"--so if it lasts 90 days it's probably good to go for a normal life time.
