Sorry to say but, it looks like reading too many forums has weakened your ability to interpret statistics.
Any major issues that cameras have get acknowledged and addressed by the well known manufacturers a couple of months after they're released. Everything else is very likely to be a one-off problem or a user error/opinion.
If you're so worried about the reliability of a new camera model, why not get a slightly older model that has been around for long enough for people to evaluate, then? But again, when people complain about well-used/abused cameras breaking, don't think this is an inherent problem with the camera.
If you're looking for a mass produced camera model that has never had a single problem in its production history then you're likely never going to find one. Manufacturers keep adding more and more features = more things to break in the future models.
