SONY a1 DISASTER
SONY a1 DISASTER. Over the past year I have been asked approximately 15-20 times of my opinion on the Sony mirrorless. Unfortunately, I have provided my candid response to each potential new Sony purchaser.... "Switching from Canon to Sony is the biggest mistake of my photography career." Hopefully, if Sony eventually replaces my faulty a1 I can have some faith restored in their products. Purchased a Sony a1 in Canada thru a Sony authorized dealer approximately 18 months ago. Within the 1yr warranty period the camera kept failing... usually at the most critical times. Complete blackout and not functioning at all were the common errors. Other times, f00 appeared indicating no lens attached. This continues repeatedly even after two visit to, Gentec International, the only Sony warranty service company in Ontario Canada. They were unable to duplicate or rectify the issues, Problems continued and due to my ongoing photography schedule of up to 3 events per week, I purchased a second Sony a1, as I am unfortunately heavily invested in the new and latest Sony lenses. I have reached out to Sony but no response. I will continue to post this and similar reviews wherever possible until my now out of warranty Sony a1 camera is switched for one that is new and reliable. Malcolm
