Possible Faulty Sony A700

[aa121]

Hi,
Was hoping someone might be able to help.

What i see and shoot thru the viewfinder is not what appears on the LCD.

It appears to 'cut off' the bottom 5th or 6th of the frame, and add a 5th or 6the to the top of the frame.

Has anyone had anything similar with their DSLR's?

(I've tried it with my 2 lenses, (a Minolta 24-105 & a Sigma 50-500), and the results are the same.
I live in Cyprus so am just after info prior to my next UK trip and a visit to Jessops i expect...

Thanks in advance,
Alfie

That doesn't sound good I'm sure someone else had the same issue on here a while ago. Rings a vague bell.

Good time to buy an all new SLT like the A55 or the soon to be released A65 or A77s

definately heard of similar happening,and i'm sure it will result in sending your A700 to sony for sorting out...

Sounds like a problem with the anti-shake, normally it's caused by the roller the sensor moves on failing, usually as a result of a knock or fall....

What he said. It's back to Sony for the fix.
