"Quality" of Sony A6500 body

Let me share my experience and feel free to spread it to everybody know...
My Sony A6500 was bought 3.8.2017 and is still covered by warranty. It never crashed and was never damaged by some unexperienced use. It was used only on tripod / from hand and on stabiliser. Heaviest lens used was about 900 grams (that lens didn´t yet have tripod support, which I think is ok for such weight). What happened?

 

Sony official repair service in Slovakia charged me f*cking 780 euros for refused warranty claim. Photos on next link are from service, camera started to show "camera error" message on screen randomly while shooting on stabiliser. I have never seen that damage before seeing these photos. So this is quality of Sony A6500. If anyone had similar experience, please let me know.

I found similar issue with refused warranty claim with camera broken totally, but check where breakpoint happens. Same as in my case.

I am totally dissapointed from build quality and also from price of repair. Total rip-off by Sony company and their warranty service. There was no camera drop on ground or anything like that, just weight of 900 grams lens. I would never trust this damn model ever.

Hi @morkaman and welcome to the UK community :slight_smile:

 

Sorry to hear you've had a bad time with your camera.

I haven't heard of other members here having this problem.

 

Have you tried posting this on the Slovakian forum Here

to see if other members have encountered this?
