Bill - the place in Enfield, though, is pay-as-you-go ....
The place in Amarillo is an Authorized Sony Repair Centre .... all repairs handled under warranty ....
That's okay, Jim ....
How did that work out for you?
Is 1/20th of a second - working for you? .... always seems to do the trick for me .... complete scans, you see ...
Acat1234 ... I live in Connecticut and when I called Sony Repair Customer Service (in Malaysia) they told me to send my a58 to a place in Texas. I did, and they sent it back, three weeks later, telling me there was nothing wrong with it. So I continued to try to use it, again - and became all the more frustrated, as all the reds seemed even MORE orange, than they were, the first time I sent it to them. So, I sent it back, again. A week later, it came right back - with all their supposed tests done on their OWN calibration system ... in a pig's eye!!! ... Later, after many calls, they offered me a free camera from their site, AND a buy-back of the a58. When I picked an a99 - they backed off the original offer, and just stayed with the buyback. I am still fuming!!! ... And pondering ....!!!
BTW, Jim ... the first letter of my last name is T ... thus, Chris T .... don't want to offend anyone, here .... so, if your caps doesn't work on T .... better to just leave it off ....
Good, Jim ....
Love the tennis .... who's winning?
Haven't had a chance to tune in, lately ... will catch up in a day or two ....
No, you sure don't, Hiker .... those reds are perfect ... my - those are classic Corvettes, huh? ... 62 and a 63, eh?
I only had problems with reds turning orange on the a58. Both of my a77's are right on the money. I guess that's why Sony came up with the a68 ... to ward off the monsters inherent in the earlier model.
I find I have a great deal of problems even SEEING what I'm shooting, when it's cloudy out ... I love the fact the mirror's transparent, but it really hinders the situation in less than perfect days. But, then - as you say - you probably aren't bothered by it much, in San Diego. What puts Sony Alpha DSLRs way ahead of all else out there - IS the fact the mirror doesn't move - which means you can rattle off a lot of shots in a very short time .....
I suspect, though - the alpha 68 is the last of a dying breed, sad to say ... I think they're even ceasing production of the alpha a77 II .... shame .... it's such a beautiful camera ....
Well, Leicas are kind of in a class all by themselves, Asiafish ....
How often would you say you use the Leica, as opposed to the Df (or vice-versa) ???
Well, I guess I have (and USE - periodically) cameras made by Sony, Canon, Nikon, Olympus, Fuji, Panasonic, Pentax, Mamiya ... it's a matter of choosing the right equipment for the job, at hand .... no?
The Fuji HS series also does - they call it SuperMacro .... and the Canon Powershot SX series all have infinite macro!
That's a nice looking Sony Bridge ....
The only one of theirs I have is the HX-100 ....
Has a 30x ... starts at 27 and winds up at 810 ....
Doesn't look anything like yours does, though ...
Hiker, the a77 II is like that .... Zebra, and so many others ....
It's a complicated camera ... not even sure how it ever gets to the advertised 79 focus points ....
All I ever seem to be able to come up with is 61 ... is that what it is on the a65?
Hiker -
Probably can do a straight swap, then ....
It looks nice ....
How is it, when it's overcast? ... Do you bump up the ISO, or use flash?
G Brown ....
I'll bet you don't live anywhere where it gets hot, then ....
I'd never DREAM of leaving ANY camera in a car to bake .... always pick up a camera in a bag on the way out ....
Cambriaman ....
Looks like once you hit on Nikon ... you stayed with it ....
No Rollei SL66 in there, huh?
Probably can do a straight swap, then ....
It looks nice ....

This is true ... but the relearning curve for a new camera manufacturer, is a lot shorter than it is for a car. But, then - you don't buy a new car every day - perhaps, once every few years. On the other hand, you could wind up taking on a few new cameras per year. I suspect - the fun is IN the learning .... trying to bring about the same results with XYZ as the ones you obtained with ABC ... and mastering it, so you can repeat as you switch from brand to brand.
