Two weeks back @naveenkr suggested that I get my camera checked at a Sony Service center. The technician analyzed and told me there could be a possible problem with the lens (but he was also not sure. I am pretty sure that it was for the money) which was more than ¾th the cost of the camera. I heard the technician suggesting 3 more customers that it is a problem with the lens.
Either Sony doesn’t care about the very few bad quality products that degrades their reputation or the Sony service centers get a high cut pretending to repair a product. Atleast that’s the case in Hyderabad.
Planning it sell it off or get a replacement with a new Canon Rebel or another ‘point and shoot’ camera.
All this time, I thought it was an issue with my creative & photography skills. I myself, could not believe that I’ve been using a cam from 1.7 years (darn it). My flickr account mostly has the ‘not so great’ photos in my account.
