text: You would expect it will last longer than 1.5 years when you paid $600+ for a camera. Mine prompted "Camera Error Turn Power Off Then On" in the middle of vacation and never recover and Sony wants me to pay $200+ to send it for diagnostic minus the parts & labor. Looks like I will never buy Sony ever again and I will make sure all my friends & families stay out of SONY. Stay away or you might have to buy extended warranty for this crappy product.
