Re: Olympus PEN-EP5 Broken.

No matter what camera, sometimes mechanical stuff breaks!

The flashing red IS light is usually a death knell.

You could try arguing that 3 years is not a reasonable lifespan for a relatively expensive piece of gear under Australian consumer law.

Otherwise you get essentially a brand new camera for your $300. They will probably replace all its guts (shutter assembly, and probably the sensor as well), not just the main board.
