I am an extremely paranoid guy about equipment with fair amount of GAS, and quickly worried about my gear losing their value (and of course we know how bad it is with sony especially).
The only gear that I really don't even care about is my RX1, but other than that guy, be it a laptop, lenses, boides, I am just always so anxious! The fact that I am currently unemployed going into grad school in a few months also don't help.
Anyhow, for some reason, there really aren't that many real user reviews on the A7ii so far, I know the camera is still fairly new to the market, but I mean neither on Amazon nor bestbuy, they are nonexistent as if this camera could never even sell. And of those very few reviews, a couple state how the A7 ii had just completely died on them in a a matter of months.
I just bought A7 ii a few weeks ago and havent' even had the chance to shoot with it a lot but if certain issues are that common, I am thinking I might as well just sell it or return it, especially with sony seemingly introducing new cameras every couple of months and dropping old gear prices like theres no tomorrow.
I have been using the crop E mount NEX and RX1 for a while, but never really had any serious issues with my previous sony cameras going all the way back to NEX 5N.
But seeing these reviews here and there saying the camera dying, and a friend of mine who is also a sony user telling me that his A7 (not mark ii) had to be serviced twice for some serious issues, it now concerns me.
So any of you experience issues with the A7 ii that needed to be sent in for warranty repairs etc? What do you guys honestly suggest? I love the controls and feel of this body a lot and think that this is probably the best camera sony's ever released in terms of design and control layout, but if it is going to become a DUD where you'd have to deal with sony's rather bad support, I do want to avoid the headache.
