I guess one / few bad experiences can leave a lasting bad impression.... for me Sony has been reliable and only had to send my Sony A9 back once, no issues.

two to be exact. well I suppose it'll remain that way till i have another good experience with them which of course i hope is never (because who wants their gear to break! lol)
 
Might have been a good deal but didn't look a big enough saving over new to temp me.
 
Where's the info on JL doing 3 years on these? Just found the A73 on their site and listed as having 2.

It's a 2 year guarantee, you can pay £50 to cover against accidental damage for those 2 years but that's it.

The link I posted on the previous page offers a 3 year UK warranty.

the one @JJ! was selling in classifieds had 3 years from JL. Might have been a special offer or something for a brief time period offering an extra year. If buy now its 2 years.

I don't trust sony. Their customer service has left a bad taste in my mount.

I have used john lewis warranty before. Week before it ran out we called and they replaced the TV for a new one!
Took them like 4 weeks but I can't blame them they kept us well informed and they were just trying to find parts which they couldn't in the end.

It was a bargain imo.

Fair enough but with no box and it's a used camera the saving over new didn't tempt me. If I want one I'll buy new or a used one that tempts me. Still haven't made my mind up if I'll get one or not. If I keep on thinking the MKIV might tempt me.
 
I don't know many photographers who have changed to sony but most video guys i know have changed to either sony or panasonic now.

i know a couple of them are intently waiting on A7SIII.

I know a lot of photographers at least 30-40 of them have switched too Sony since the A7III became available.

:eek:

i always felt the main prohibition for switching to sony was the lack of cheaper 3rd party lens options and/or used market.

For most of the guys I know the cost wasn’t really the issue. The iffy a.f on the older versions was the reason they didn’t switch sooner.

A lot like myself waited for the Nikon & Canon announcements before making the jump.

Weird, definitely says 2 years on the John Lewis site.

These warranty thing don't bother me, have insurance so the cost is just the excess no matter what, which is about £50 you would be saving.

It is 2 years for you if you buy now.
JJ! got it for 3 years which you can't get now because they have stopped doing it for whatever reason. They are not bound to provide any more than the standard one year so they are free to change what they provide out of "good will".

Had the notion of trying contre-jour/abstract today in the noon day sun. Chose some shrubs and trees. Here are two I liked and two Mrs CharleyB preferred.

But is it art ;)

Well anyway, it was fun
 
I want the Sony A9 II to have a Pregius and Starvis technology :D
 
Is there any rumors of a IV? It’s been mentioned a few times but I thought the III was still pretty new

Nope, doubt we’ll see a replacement to the A7 III for 2 years approx.
Sony A7S III next with rumours of a new APS-C A9 type camera in a A7 designed body. :)
12-13 more FE lenses on the way also.
