Nowaday its raining season somemore ..

still underwarranty?? fast fast go send to sony style...tell them u found fungus.....also tell them its their sony fault or dealer fault...as u keep your things in a drybox...so it's impossible the fungus can grow unless it's ALREADY there when you bought it....crap something up and get ur warranty worth..

Faster go get a drybox.... raining season will make the air more humid. Thus promotes fungus growth

still under warranty....y hv to say likr tht?? i am still under warranty so they should service for me..

neo_lam, very hard to say ooo...here is msia, they might charge a fee for cleaning based on the assumption is user/customer error of not taking care of the lens/etc.....u know la....here like to putar belit, and if that happen, use wat i suggested lo....

so far i've not serviced anything with sony yet..not sure the service..got some say good some say bad...from my frens

wow...thanks for the info...will use wat u said when they wanna charge me fees....

send send send, hahaha, but they only will do cleaning for u, they will not change lenses/glass for u, coz fungus are user inflicted.

*edit: the service is good if follow the truth. sometime they give extra service. sometimes, they cant (especially when come to changing parts)

u can ask them change ur flash hotshoe also (loose) and tighten ur Amount, (like virgin when u first put ur lens in) etc

btw, all labour charge is FREE during warranty period. so including cleaning service is free. but when come to changing parts, they will call u and ask for comfirmation. for sabah sarawak, they get free shipping...

when warranty finish, walao, the shipping from sabah sarawak alone can kill u

i heard even after removing the fungus from the lense, it will not perform as good as before anymore???
is that even a true statement??

it will affect contrast (which affect AF speed. AF accuracy), color. but it depends, maybe the fungus spot is at some corner not at the AF points, then it's not noticable.

damn....will affect quality then i am very sad now...

it's now like the whole lens is full of fungus rite?

woots.. now u re scaring me.. anyway , what filter u re using on ur cz1680?

Had a look at a550 in Centre Point, KKinabalu. Hold and tested it a bit. Quite nice. Much better handling ergonomics than a230, a330. One thing which I found to be slightly discomforting is the shutter button. Have to be careful when pressing the shutter button to auto focus as pressing it slightly can trigger the shot, rather than just wanting to auto focus. But I guess user will get use to this.

Which memory card (brand, size, speed etc) do you guys reccommend for the a550? There's 2 slots there.
Im seriously considering getting a a550, maybe the a550 and CZ1680 bundle.

i think its really worth to buy a dry cabinet...afterall it saves some trouble for u...and since we spent a few thousands bucks on camera+lenses..whats wrong to keep them safely in a 200 300 bucks cabinet..


i think if the fungus is not too serious...after cleaning the IQ should not be too badly affected..but its pure guessing..better wait for pro..

Hi All. 1 week ago i send my a550 and sal1870 for servicing. got "hama" inside OVF and fungus inside lens. 3 week after bought it and need for servicing. next time sure get the dry box first.

i tracking service at sony web site. On Status Description state that "Waiting for parts"...need change part for hama insite OVF?

hopfuly this FoC..huhuuuhu
