thanks bro!
me have same preference as you.went to one of the most reputable shops. i chose the best set (box condition, cam no physical scratch with stock factory foam/bag tight packaging) and checked almost everything
my experience was kinda sueh, after playing with demo unit, went on to get a new set
- took 1 set of best box condition, fix on new lens and pre prepared battery to check dead pixel. NB, kenna 1 dead pixel
- took 2nd set, lo and behold, camera had no body cap. retail assistant also too paisey and even 'suan' the sony product manager who happened to be around
- took 3rd and last set with abit terok box, check dead pixel and live view, ovf, thought ok. paid and left for home
went home and after experimentation, discover that faint speck. next day (today) call retailer and was told to bring down the unit. at the shop, one assistant showed me the sensor (wow quite a few dust speck inside). spent a good 30min cleaning but still left with 2 specks inside. bo bian, assistant also paisey and got me a new set. this time, we used the sensor inspection tool(light ring device) to check sensor, no dust.
overall, my experience was slight demoralised by product quality, but was compensated by retailer's customer service.
to prevent misconception against shop i went to, i shall not mention shop name. but all i can say is, this shop is great and has been very forth coming in dealing with post sales issues. :thumbsup: my new set seems ok so far.

Curious.. how do you check for the 1 dead pixel in the shop? Do they have a while & black backdrop for testing?

Hi Jammer,
congrats in getting your new cam & welcome on board the Alpha camp. As bro Rashkae mentioned the Sony Workshop is pretty useful and it would be good to learn the basics. But I would suggest that you do a bit of reading up and understand the relationship between Aperture, Shutter Speed and ISO first.
Looking forward to see your works and hope to see you in our outings soon.

There's an outing tomorrow. PM you.
Depends on your needs. Shoot more first, then buy lenses only if you need them for your chosen type of photography.

Join the club members' regular outings is more useful than buying this. You get good advises and hands on 'training' on the spot.
