Nonsense. The upgrade option - your choice if you do it or not - was unprecedented, nowhere else can you send your camera and receive it transformed into the next model. Ricoh Imaging deserves kudos for that.

500 was reasonable; as it implies changing the mainboard, update the software and perform various calibrations in service. Services are expensive.

And the demand was so great they had to extend the time limit.
