Camcorder lifespan - Or bad dealer?

What is a reasonable life span for a camcorder? I've had a Sony DV camera for 1 year, and recorded about 40 hours of footage with it. It has been non-stop defects with the thing, (2 exchanges + 5 service calls, including a 90-day wait for a part that fixed nothing!) and now the store I bought it from is accusing me of using it for "Commercial Purposes" and voiding the 4-year warranty! Most of the defects started soon After each service call, and I have yet to have them actually fix anything. Even the loaner camera that they gave me is full of defects! Should I expect to pay $2000 a year on camcorders? What else can I do?
