Just to share some scary numbers with forum members here:
Bought my MX-8 at SGD2400 (that's Singapore Dollars, about US$1.00 = SGD1.80).
Sold to a friend.
Bought extended warranty (2 more years, so total 3 years) for SGD165.
Camera colours gone with permanent solarise and absolutely BAD video at 13 month. Steven Khong saw the problem when I went over to Kuala Lumpur.
As camera is on my name, I sent it to Panasonic Singapore for repairs in February. Got it back 9 weeks later in April.
Changed lens and optical capture component, and general cleaning. Cost on bill: SGD850. Thanks to warranty, Free-of-charge.
WHEW! Worth the whole SGD165 that I paid.
