Re: Anyone any experience with UK sony repair? Brand new 5R
Camera returned today, as good as new. In fact if I did not know better I would say the serial No. sticker had been tampered with and a new camera issued.

Re: Anyone any experience with UK sony repair? Brand new 5R
Letter today from sony stating the damage (exterior) and they have a flat fee of £117 for digital/stills camera. If i refuse there is a charge of £54 to return it. In my case recipt or not its going to be a chargeable repair i suspect so £117 for the damage is actually reasonable. Not sure about th...

Re: Anyone any experience with UK sony repair? Brand new 5R
Finnaly got a hold of the guy, he bought it direct from Sony. No prize. The plot thickens. Said there is a recipt somewhere but not sure if he will be able to find it.
Fingers crossed, leasson learned.

Re: Anyone any experience with UK sony repair? Brand new 5R
So far proof of purchase as far as there concerned my sealed box is second hand, fair enough. But the crazy thing is they will accept a scrap of paper saying it was a competition prize from the UK as proof ! So far the man I bought it from has not replied to me about proof (in Sony's eyes) of purcha...

Re: Anyone any experience with UK sony repair? Brand new 5R
As it stands Sony wont do the repair without the proof of purchase.... If I cant get a proof of purchase than I have a problem. Oh and the tracking no. I got for the new parts for my car, £300 worth does not exist in the courier's system. So god knows where they are. 2013 a lucky year? Appears not t...

Re: Anyone any experience with UK sony repair? Brand new 5R
The fun has not stopped yet, the front cross member on my 4x4 has decided to part company with the rest of the car on Christmas day!
Apparently there is a worldwide recall on it.
Well actually with the exception of the UK so I am again *#*t out of luck.

Re: A700 DIY AF module adjustment question..

I just didnt expect it to be so so bad with one lens. The Sigma 120-400mm HSM. When i saw the recall i thought thats the problem but my lens serial ...

Re: My brother finaly became the World Champion Spey Casting
There was some other (in my opinion) my much much better shots where i chose the location (shade, subtle fill flash) but thats the one he wants so who am i? Thing is with this casting jiggery pokery it all seems reasonably straight forward untill you actually hold a 18ft double handed rod with a str...
