I have owned many Panasonic items over 40+ years and just about every one of them has been rock solid. To me you can't get more reliable than Panasonic.

Same experience over 44 years with over a dozen Olympus bodies: nevera serious failure, two or three minor things that were repaired quickly and well.

Two major failures with the Panasonic top tier P&S (Lx3) stuff that I also use UW. One catastrophic.   Laws of random chance I guess.
