One web site posted some comments suggesting that pros were having an unusually high amount of failure with their OM-Ds but I haven't seen that widely reported - it may or may not be a consideration

"One website"? Do you know which one it was? A quick google search didn't return any relevant results. I'd be interested in knowing which website this was published in, and in reading the actual reports. Otherwise, it's practically worthless information, you know?

It was, I believe, a comment made on the "mirrorless central" web site by the guy who runs it. He said a number of his pro friends who adopted the OM-D have had to get it repaired, or words to that effect - he sometimes posts on here actually.

Sorry Marco, I've just spent half an hour looking for something to back this up. I've run several advanced google searches on the mirrorlesscentral.com domain, only. I have used the mirrorlesscentral.com search facility. I have read a number of articles tagged "OM-D" on mirrorlesscentral.com, paying attention to articles that have comments on them. I have run more general google searches and read discussions and articles from around the 'net containing the words "OM-D" and "Professional" or "Pro" and "Repair" or "Failure".

Zilch. Not a single quote that I can find that 'suggests' (as you said, originally) what you're purporting was said.

So here's the point - with as much press and attention as this camera has gotten, I'd be surprised if a rumor like this didn't have real legs. I'd be surprised if this was happening and not being reported anywhere at all. IMHO, a number of people 'have it out' for this camera, so I'd be real surprised to find that someone reputable was making this kind of claim without the haters spreading the news far and wide. I mean, I can't prove a negative, and maybe someone reputable has made a statement that closely resembles the one you've made here - anything's possible.

But, really, until we have a source we can check up on, this is uncorroborated rumor and noise, and it really has no place in a serious discussion about these cameras.

If you find your source, I'd appreciate you sharing it. I've tried, but have had zero luck so far.
