So, let's see. I have 3 cameras with Sony CCDs. Do I "assume" my CCDS will just work forever (or as long as I think the camera's useful life is)? Do I assume technology will move so quickly that I will want to upgrade before they die (or I do!)? Or, do I buy potential replacement sensors while I still can in case one or more die? Or take a punt and "hope" that if I have a problem down the line a CCD at a reasonable price can be found? It also puts the resale value in some jeopardy, though perhaps if the camera were sold in the future - along with a replacement CCD - the value would hold or perhaps not drop to zero. But then CCDs are expensive so it's a pretty big gamble any way one looks at it.
What do you think? Too much worry just now?
