10 days was the announcement, and 10 working days (plus two weekends) it took to get my Olympus 8080 repaired and back. It suddenly started showing freaky colors and superimposing pictures on its viewfinder without any apparent cause. If you have ever mailed in a camera to a very big player with a C in its name, you know that 10 days is blazingly fast. You do not get a case ID, you do not get an online tracking number, you do not get very sensible information out of their hotline - but you do get your camera back in a manageable frame of time, which counts far more. The camera also received a firmware update. In this update: Autofocus speed improved: yes. Number of autofocus misses reduced: yes. Subject distance readout bug in focus lock and manual focus modes fixed: not at all. Well, you have to spare something for the next update, don't you? All in all, a good performance - nice.
