"What a tangled web we weave..

...When first we practise to deceive"
Sir Walter Scott

I can hardly believe that my new a6000 (3 months old) has developed a blip and will not read the memory card. It has to be returned to Sony and could be away for a month. I feel as if I've lost a bit of me! (And I've treated it well, bought it 4 lenses and a deluxe case!!)

What a mess! Both your photo and your camera issue :(

Yes, it's annoying as this is the most expensive camera I've ever purchased, first time with interchangeable lenses - just glad I have old stalwarts to fall back on. I'm going to cheekily ask in the camera shop if they do a similar scheme to garages which give you a hire car when yours goes in for repairs!!

@quietpurplehaze That's not cheeky - that's clever to ask for that!!!!
April 3rd, 2015  
That is terrible news! I'd go crazy if I had to miss my camera for weeks. You really should ask the camera shop if you can have a loaner for the period your camera is in repair.

Great shot.

I had been reading reviews of the A6000 butwent for the EOS M instead, being a devoted Canon person. Shame that ti developed problems for you, definitely ask them to provide a temporary replacement, not at all cheeky, such things should be covered by the warranty (but are probably not). Personally I would threaten them with adverse publicity...

Nice shot and what a bummer with your new camera. Hope they replace it free of charge.
April 3rd, 2015  
Shot - great, but terrible about your camera, my 60d had some issues, went back to Canon 3 times before it was great. Trouble is I never really 'loved' or trusted it after that :(
April 3rd, 2015  
I do love the shot of the barbed wire, but I'm sad to hear about your camera. I have heard nothing but good reviews of it. I hope it is easy to fix. And I would ask for a replacement while it's being fixed too.

Hello again !! I have had issues and was not receiving any of your photos --hence a lack of viewing and commenting on your work -- Now I discover I no longer am following you --how this glip happened I do not know but now I am back following you !!
Sorry about your problems with your new camera ! Hope things will be resolved asap !! So upsetting and inconvenient !
I love your capture and caption -- but on my first glance it reminded me of the crown of thorns and so appropriate on Good Friday !
April 3rd, 2015  
A fantastic capture and a fav for me. So sorry to hear about your camera. Wishing it a speedy recovery!
April 3rd, 2015  
Sorry to hear your camera is not well hope you get it sorted quickly . Lovely capture of the tangles.
April 3rd, 2015  
I had to send my new camera last year for repairs it took 2 months... hope yours us not that long.
Great capture.

Send them a get well card if you have to chase them up, and push for a replacement camera if you don't get it back within a couple of weeks.

Hello Beryl - I've missed you and was starting to wonder if I'd done anything to upset you! These little blips seem to happen from time to time on here. I did not think of the crown of thorns (not being religious) I must admit but I 'see' it now. Hope you have a good Easter weekend. We shall just be quiet as usual, which is how we like it. I'm told the camera will be away from 2 to 6 weeks. Luckily I have 2 others! I asked for a 'courtesy camera' but no luck!!!
April 3rd, 2015  
Great shot, but sorry to hear about your camera. Hope you can get it sorted soon. I think I would be bereft if I didn't have mine

@karlow75

No luck with a replacement - I asked at the camera shop, I could write to Sony I guess. I've been so pleased with it up until now!

@pixiemac

Well that's it - I understand and have already said to Ray that I'll have to take the Sony plus another on holiday just in case.

@onewing

It's under guarantee so will be repaired free - only 3 months old.
April 3rd, 2015  
The ungrateful beast Hazel.......all those goodies to wear & it won't play ball! I suppose they are such complex machines that problems aren't uncommon. It will be as good as new when it comes back, if not they will have to replace it. I loved the Sony camera I had before I got my compact one but it was notorious for lens jamming apparently which is exactly what happened to mine. I am rough with my cameras just pushing them in my bag anyhow & not putting lens caps back on....I have a crack on my screen in the corner already but I expect you treat yours beautifully & look what you get......

@happypat

Well, yes, I'm meticulous in looking after my camera - have just emailed Sony to ask if they will loan me one while mine is repaired as the camera shop were unable to do that - which I guess is understandable for a small shop. Anyway, worse things happen at sea - as the saying goes!
April 3rd, 2015  
cool

That's very annoying, Hazel. Hope your camera will soon be repaired!
April 3rd, 2015

April 3rd, 2015
