How many of us have actually used 100K of the mechanical shutter within 10 years? That's about 200 a week. There won't be much point fixing a 10 year old camera.

My E510 probably has around 100,000 shutter activations, my E5 ripped at 72,000 (too long at too low a temperature may have been a factor), my E-M1.1 shutter started sticking at over 175,000 activations. Both the E5 and E-M1.1 were repaired under the extended warranties. All three cameras still work well.
