poor design, won't stand behind inferior product

I am disappointed in a poor camera:  Panasonic's DMC-ZR1.  I am more disappointed with their service and support.  The original camera got dust inside the lens assembly and affected pictures with a grey dot.  Since it wasn't fixable, I sent it back.  They sent me a refurbished one and the exact same thing happened again.  However, their 90 day warranty expiration quickly expired, and I was stuck with essentially a broken camera.  They just sent me the broken one back.  Avoid Panasonic Cameras, avoid Panasonic anything with their poor warranty.
