Why didn't the insurance company honour the warranty?I think you wouldn't have many problems with Sony's own warranty (or so I've heard).My a55 died in a similar fashion 2 weeks ago after 2.5...

Congratulations. Great photos. Did you add any highlights in the lamppost photo with PS? And, was the haze also courtesy of PS? You can certainly create certain moods.

Thanks, I checked and you're right! Unfortunately I don't have a receipt (they never sent one even after asking) but I registered it online and have a record of the purchase in my CC statement so...

Thank you for your advice. I've looked into this and SOGA. One needs to claim back from the retailer, not the manufacturer. Unfortunately, the retailer has shut down (bestcameras.co.uk, Kamera...

I talked to a knowledgeable chap at a local independent camera store and he is also of the mind that extended warranties are He said your home contents insurance should cover any such issues. I've...

As an aside, it appears that the more expensive the camera the lower the failure rate as per the link below (let alone that the stated shutter life of more expensive cameras is more than three...

Fair enough, in retrospect you made the right decision. And, if you buy higher end cameras they're less likely to become faulty (I assume). But if two cameras had developed a fault you might be...

But don't you think the price of a warranty (£40-70) is below the minimum price to repair a minor issue? Often one pays £50-100 just for postage and an initial inspection.

Sony does sell them but you'd have to buy them after buying the camera elsewhere (if that's possible) as buying from sony online in the UK immediately adds a £70+ premium. Do you have any...

Sony does not honor the 2 year EU warranty laws (I asked them), as many electronic companies here in the UK do not (and this camera is 2.5 years out). You could use Sony's extended warranty as long...

Thank you for your thoughts. I've never bought one, but now consider it since my last camera failed a year and a half out of warranty (whilst others with the same camera mention the same error 4...

Hello, I asked this on the open forum but no takers: I'm about to replace my "camera error"ed a55 (with an a65). Which extended warranties would you recommend in the UK? Jessops seem to have good...

Hello, I'm about to upgrade my dslr. Which extended warranties would you recommend in the UK? Jessops seem to have good prices here in the UK and have stores to try the cameras out, however with...

"as an iphone user I hate samsung"

a clueless iphone user perpeuating iphone-user stereotypes.

Do you think he/she also subscribes to:

"as an american I hate Afghanistan"

Thank you for your thoughts. Even taking the slower AF into consideration, the size and convenience of the nex-6 (compared to the a65) has it inching in front. It's a shame there are no rumors of a...

Is it be possible to use the SAL35F18 with the LA-EA2?

Thank you, Jack. Had a look at your sites; some very nice shots. I assume the nex-7 shots are all crops. Considering all of the photos appear to be above ISO800/1600 they show relatively low noise,...

You're right: I prefer the smaller body and can see the future is the nex system and e-mounts, so the adapter could be a temporary stop-gap until I can afford decent E-glass, as long as the adapter...

Thank you for your help, though now I'm back to being confused (nex again an option?).

Thank you, that is very helpful. Will stick to the a65 (though would love to enter the nex realm).
