Hey guys, I've just started my interest in photography having owned a few PNS cameras before this. I bought a black Sony NEX-3A (with 16mm f2.8 lens) last Wednesday in good faith as I thought the shop has a good reputation among locals here. To my dismay when I returned home, and as I was looking at the box, I found a sticker which states "demo body + flash". I thought nothing serious about that until I used the camera for the first time today and when I transferred the photos to the computer, I noticed that the first photo numbering is 5883, and not 0001 unlike other new cameras which I owned before this.

Does that mean that the shutter count has reached 5883, and that 5882 photos were taken before my usage? And it's not a "completely whole new camera"? And if so, I wonder if I could lodge a complaint against the place and consider returning the camera and obtain a full refund if I could? I'm a noob in photography, hence would appreciate all advices given by you guys. Many thanks in advance!

what's your ISO and shutter speed? under bright sunlight, if ISO and shutter speed is still unable to let u maintain your large aperture, then there's nothing u can do in camera, the next step is to get an ND filter..

Meh, new member here.... Am confuse... I didn't get a bag as freebie... So how to carry out my cam out? If I buy a bag, how to put it into the bag? Lol.. Nid separate the lens and body? I thought it will be nt gud for the body if keep separate the lens? Lol,,, totally newbie in dslr and picked Sony as my 1st.
