I guess the real question is, what's the life expectancy of micro-circuitry? And perhaps equally important, what's the life expectancy of LCD screens? As far as I know, none of my LCD screens from the late 70's and early 80's are still functioning; they have all died over the years. I don't know if today's LCD screens have a longer lifespan, but it can't be forever. Let's be honest, a DSLR with a dead LCD screen is practically a useless camera.
Your supplement to my original post is very helpful. We all realize of course that everything has a limited or finite life span. But these great posters suggest that for DSLRs, that span is extended. This is very reassuring for all of us who love this art form.
