Fact is if it's made by man it can fail.
I don't have any problem with the starting of this thread, although the title could have been more neutral (this title is very "hey look everyone, other cameras can break", which really doesn't need pointing out). What almost everyone has contributed to the thread is junk though. Arguing about whether 6 cameras can fail or not is pointless, since we don't know what really happened, and likely never will. Defending or attacking Nikon or Leica (or Canon...) is also totally pointless. The facts speak for themselves, and all cameras can break. Without real statistics, we will never know the real reasons.
