"Ape stuck inside."
 
Those of you who have been following thread http://dvinfo.net/conf/showthread.php?t=102799 -- my travails in getting my V1 repaired for the last 35 days -- will be glad to know it's back and working and was repaired under warranty.

In looking at the paperwork returned with the cam, I noted the first sentence, which described the problem with the camera:

"Ape stuck inside."

NOW I understand why it took so danged long to fix it.

I'm guessing it wasn't the ape so much as the banana.

Now I understand why reviewers say my videos have such "a peel."

Big hairy problems are the toughest to fix!

it was a chest thumper of a problem for sure

Sony should get its act together before they monkey around with repairs.

Ralph Roberts October 11th, 2007 02:22 PM

well, it's a jungle out there

Ron Little October 11th, 2007 02:29 PM

Sounds like the repair man had a monkey on his back.

Lee Berger October 11th, 2007 02:35 PM

That's what happens when you send your repair to a Banana Republic.

Um, I didn't want to say anything with that 800 pound gorilla in the room.

If I had to wait 35 days for a repair I would be climbing the Empire State Building and shouting at the world.

and batting down little biplanes ... but, remember, the gorilla got the girl in that movie, all I got from Sony for 34 days was the run around. ;=[

I think it's time to stop beating your chest about this issue. I love my V1 so much I feel like swinging in the trees.

A million monkeys and a million typewriters and all I got was this broken camera.

Ralph Roberts October 12th, 2007 06:20 AM

Tarzan say Cheetah fix camera or Tarzan yell loud and swing from jungle vine!
