Could we stick to the topic on hand please?
This seems like a train wreck going with wild imaginations of people who have no clue about my personal situation. It is not the effing camera.
This was one of the several topics that have meandered through this thread. Multiple side topics are common to all threads on all forums as well as virtually all discussions of any kind on any subject.
I reviewed my comments and feel they are reasonable.
Regarding the Rx1r2 specifically ...
Expecting a refund after considerable use for an issue that was never a problem and which, in any event, is shortly to be resolved by replacing the camera with a new one does strike me as slipping into the category of asking for too much.
Regarding the potential future issue of dust, I suspect dust can make it's sneaky way into any camera no matter how well it is sealed against the light. Having a known light leak would seem to make that more likely however.
As a broad condemnation of Sony, I refuse to agree. I can only wish Leica had offered the same deal when I was never able to get the right colors from my M8. Even my M9 still needed the filters at times. Nikon never came to bat when I had focusing issues with my D800. No firmware fix on my D4 to bring the AF up to or close to D4s spec was ever made available either. Olympus left me hanging with my orphaned and, supposedly, "pro" level 4/3's system.
On the other hand, Sony's recent quick firmware response to the sunspot problem in the A7s2 when shooting in PAL video mode was encouraging. As was the firmware update which decreased the incidence of overheating while shooting 4K video. Their fast action to replace any light leaking Rx1r2 cameras also impresses me as very positive.
I agree with others that Sony appears to need to address some ongoing issues with lens variability. Also, I think the Zeiss lenses need, as a group, to start showing even better performance for their price point. But, overall, I feel Sony is working hard to make a place in this tough market and putting out credible products at a surprising rate.
Best wishes on getting whatever you wish, be it a full refund or anything else.
