I am not 100% sure you can classified this as planned obsolescence. It is the nature of the product. ie, the capacitors used only have a relative short life and will fail within 10 years. Just like the SLR will stop working, just much more later in time. It is just the way it is. Planned obsolescence would be if the camera manufacturer specifically design to product to stop working in a specific time frame. They might do this for commercial, legal or safety reasons.
