Olympus E-P5 dial malfunction and warranty questions

Different Camera Batches

In my discussions with Olympus technical support, I noted that my two E-P5's (obtained in 2015) both had firmware version 1.1 when I turned them on for the first time.  I asked if my chances of getting a "good" camera would be better if I got a camera from a different "batch", manufactured later.  The response from the Senior Customer Care specialist was, "There are no batches.  Olympus just has one production run per camera.  Only if a camera sells exceptionally well do we have more than one production run."

Of course, the E-P5 is not a big seller.
