I see homosexual haircuts are all the rage in germany
I see presumptive and bigoted comments are all the rage with you.
“homosexual haircuts”
LOL!
I see discrimination is still the expression of own incompetence.
Photography is the playground for open-minded people, discovering the world in all existing colors. Tolerance should be one of our highest moral aims.
How about you give a good example by showing some tolerance towards intolerance?
It doesn’t work that way. Fighting for tolerance also means, inevitably, fighting against intolerance.
Pansy cameras!
You mean body waxing, right? 😉
The extended warranty only applies to cameras purchased from June 12 to July 31.
Furthermore: it applies only to Lumix G cameras purchased in a period mentioned by you.
good to see 5 year warranty … but why only for such a restrictive purchase period? surely there are more exciting promotions to offer (see free 17mm or free grip or free body-cap-lens from Oly)
if it was 5 yr warranty for purchases from this date forward that could be a promotion
That’s an easy one for Pany. They know that people who buy these kinds of cameras replace them often so, as long as the warranty is non-transferable, they’re giving away nothing. Good marketing idea, though, and certainly cheaper than lowering prices or giving free grips, etc.
Panasonic should offer the same guarantee on their lenses.
It wouldn’t cover any kind of drops, spills or other physical damage caused by the user, so it probably wouldn’t be such a big deal. Other than the motor wearing out, which I haven’t heard happening very much, what could go wrong?
How good 5 years warranty really are depends on the conditions. For example, Sonys warranty for water resistant smartphones ends if water gets in them -sounds logical…
