Hi Ken. You probably can't drum up the enthusiasm, but I would be intrigued to know the cost of repairing the Sony (if it is indeed possible to repair!).
It would have been good to get it fixed, and I did look into it. But not a lot of people fix things these days. I live in a small town, and there was no one local. I did find ads online for fixing cameras... but then I would have had to send it away. So it would have taken time, been rather complex, and, with shipping both ways, probably quite costly. I'm afraid I didn't get details as to the possible cost of repair. I have bought another Sony - I found one for sale locally as 'new, open box' with full warranty. Still quite pricey. Just in process of checking that out.
