Much of the Digital cameras are built as outsourced modules then simply plugged together. Think about watch repair, which
requires more labor repairing a mechanical watch, or a quartz watch?
Manual watch where a craftsman finds the broken part disassembles the watch to the point where can be
removed, either uses a replacement he has in stock, orders a replacement part or fabricates a replacement part, reassembles the watch
and puts it back in the case. Compare that to the procedure for a quartz watch, check module number, order new watch module,
open case, replace old module with new, close case.

Lars Pappila talks about a dramatic change that gives extra effect for the production side, since digital cameras don't require the same amount of manufacturing work as the old film technology.
Huh?
Well I don't know. That's what the managing director says in the newspaper anyway. Maybe a digital camera has less moving parts or something.
