Sony US announces NEX-5n fix service to remove the “Click” issue


Got mine back today, a soft click is heard when rotate camera landscape to portrait to the right. Shaking the cam violently up and down left to right in landscape mode no clicks heard physically as well as video. Not perfect but acceptable as I dont shoot video that way flipping the orientation.

Did your receipt indicate ' change of mechanical parts'?
 

planning to get the cam, anytime before beginning of Nov.
Should I get it now and surrender to Service center for 2-3 days..or shall I get it begining of Nov ? Are the latest badge without the click sound ?
 

See when you need to use..or the itchy virus get u first...u go wisma try the sample and hear the click sound. After service for me is a lot softer and only change in orientation in one direction will produce a click. Other normal usage for video panning....or even shaking the cam up and down have no sound. Before repair , a slight shake the click is loud. Anyway no regrets sending it in....

i shot video..so the fix is important to me. Now could not decide the white vs black...
 

oh..come on..you should advise me to get both.
White for Nex5N, and Black for Nex7 LOL...
get the 5n, wait for nex9 or whatever coming.. rumored that there is going to be a75 (hopefully 5n sensor in a77) so nex 7n should be there with it..

i want better AF, 5n high ISO IQ + 7 body before spending anymore money
 

White is nice...

White is so beautiful and Black is so common.

Won't be so beautiful after a year of usage ! ...but Black will look MORE beautiful with the soon to be release CZ 24 f1.8 Prime lens !!! :bsmilie:
 

Well the 24 F1.8 will not be part of my inventory for a nex system......that thing looks hideously expensive.

Well, Carl Ziess, Leica, G lense, L Lense all have one thing in common ...no, actually 2 things in common ...their price and their IQ.
