Buy new or demo EX-1
I remember reading something about some minor problems with a first generation EX-1's ... (some early serial numbers?)
I have the opportunity to buy a brand new EX-1 or a demo unit from my dealer. Are there something I should look for before buying a demo? |
The main problem was the vignetting issue, it is pretty well documented.
I would ask a day with the camera to put it through its paces. And make sure what the warranty is. Sony Prime Support usually starts from the date of the end-user invoice; I'd make sure that still applies. Possibly you could make arrangements with your dealer to exchange it for a new camera (at the difference in cost) within lets say a week if you happen to find fault with it. George/ |
Can I look for a specific serial number, from where the vignetting issue was solved ??
|
There are some serialnumbers mentioned in the vignetting thread as well as the serial number thread, but remember these were incidents. I'm sure many cams did not have problems.
For a demo unit I would not expect it to have issues as that would make for a bad demo... But best you check. There are details on how to in the threads. George/ |
George,
thanks! Bjorn |
i have serial number 3. No Vignette issue and if there was easily fixed.
