You may need to go to a fixed lens camera.

You'd have apoplexy if you saw what my E-M1 looks like (new in Feb 2014); bare metal showing through everywhere.

A direct result of the fast replacements of modern cameras. Years ago, wear was a badge of honour, it indicated you actually used your equipment. Today, people are paranoid of wear (and lose shots because of it) because they are trying to keep what they know they are going to be selling soon in perfect condition.

I have for decades felt so when product is a new. As it reminds you from your stupidity or clumsiness if I get bad damages on first days/weeks. The first damage is like the tool is losing virginity, you will remember it.

But after that it's nothing and really a "badge of honor" that the product is the tool and it works as intended So more of those shows that it has had value of a its money.
