I informed them it was probably the battery circuits but they still insisted on testing it for three days with the NP-500H battery before trying the new motherboard so now it's awaitng parts, they've had it for a fortnight and frankly they just seem to be messing me about, nothing to be done so I'm without until at least New year I'd say. Beginning to wish I'd stuck with the A77 now but what is done is done, I hate being without a Camera, it does my head in. Serves me right for having no money and only being able to have one body, cast that it would fail really! I can just can't seem to catch a break, I'll look into getting a second body as soon as finances allow, I'll not let myself get into this position again!
RANT OVER, normal service resumed!
Any recommendations here? A580?
Would go for the A77 again or a 65 but I just don't want to throw lots of money at an SLT, I think the EVF is potentially great tech but it's not quite there yet, (Flicker, moving/action,low resolution,inaccurate white balance, blooming, viewfinder histogram, etc) It has lots of positives (Peaking, magnifier, low light, WYSIWYG nearly!). SLT however will go as soon as Sony Technicians rip open a Nikon V1 and see how the on chip AF works!
