field pattern

actually, saw a little white thing and zoomed in

you lose definition at the top end of any zoom, I imagine

this was taken on my Nikon bridge

I took my compact into the camera shop today to learn that Sony don't even offer a repair service now.

Looks like to get a camera that will fit in my back pocket, I will have to go second hand - and drop from 20x to 12/14x optical zoom.

The first reasonably (unreasonably) priced new compact has 40x zoom - and obviously the weight and dimensions to go with it.

Sad about your camera!

Gorgeous view

Nice view but shame about the camera and shame on Sony 🙁

[Corinne C]

Beautiful view. To bad about your Sony

Lovely patchwork fields.

Well captured landscape Annie-Sue, so sorry about your Sony, hopefully you will find a replacement at a reasonable price:)

Some kind of storage container? A lovely patchwork of green

@30pics4jackiesdiamond @narayani @corinnec @pcoulson I'm caught between a rock and a hard place - my sort of camera has been replaced by phones - but I don't like a phone to take photos!

@beverley365 @onewing ta :-)
@busylady it's always tricky looking at something from a different angle - it may be the hut on the shooting range. May!!!

Hi, this is the company I used to fix my Pentax a few years ago and my little Lumix this year.

Give them a try for your camera

@anniesue There are a few Sony WX350 on ebay at the moment two new from china if your interested Annie-Sue, check out this link to one of them, but maybe not this one can just search online https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/387181307697?itmmeta=01J2DXANS47ACXE9XHD7S9N4B3&hash=item5a25cde731:g:Yb8AAOSwvk5mjZ9b&itmprp=enc%3AAQAJAAAA4LEeOX%2Fktyi52fBRU5wybCNqfzy0YvSsBdOo4zNBdwCDWO5nQXVKmO7VgXIp8XljSDlagq0tA35HBVApR%2FAJ1ELM6NDppxs1E3MFnpCCDWYj3ZwxspJ0x1qyDCbCSHX%2FVWVhB43QDcCyx4Q5wZTClgghea9QydlzYWUHcP940UJXO71wgyUDVYp%2FmRzxnajo7%2F5nJO%2B36ho9uWEfmPU7HdMgxHtrNWTbU9M%2BdJoHbTUbh6KyQTN245rR3NC7lDBrw%2FbicqvqYSpc%2BHSl2UpGIN6tZT5ArjBou6nXkrRlhQbC%7Ctkp%3ABk9SR9Lcqr2TZA

So sorry to hear about your camera not being able to be repaired. Hope you manage to find something you really like

[Annie-Sue]

@pcoulson thank you Peter - but I think the problem is not going to go away. What ever camera I get, I'm going to drop it eventually. And then what do I get after that? I'm going to manage with my phone for a while and see if I get happier with it (I've put a floating shutter button on, and will get the zoom onto the volume switch) - and my Nikon at weekends!

[Annie-Sue]

@seacreature thanks :-) I will get an estimate from one of the independent camera repairers as suggested by Jackie - but in the long term I'm going to have to consider different solutions (which will probably be less optical zoom and another accidental damage extended warranty!)
