Well this is simply not true,
many cameras and lenses have frequent occuring problems unlike others.
some examples in Canon land.
Stuck aperture blades on canon efs 18-55mm, its IS sister doesn't have this issue although more complicated.
autofocus engine failure on canon 50mm f1.4
There are plenty of such examples.
Can anyone a reliable source for cameras reliability??

What makes a problem a "frequent" one? What are the failure rates in percentages of the products? How many of the "problems" are actually operator "problems"? I would not be surprised if a substantial amount of lens and camera returns are because of the lack of understanding on the part of the user.
