Well Guys, Sony fixed the camera and is shipping it back to an address in Miami for me. They charged US$176 including return shipping. If you add in the shipping charge to send the camera to them, you can call it about US$190. I preferred to repair it than buy a new one because I would like to believe that the CCD they replaced will be different from the faulty one we all received? Or am I in a fool's paradise? Anyways I too was upset and was looking at other cameras but the thing is i take alot of photos at night inside of cars at car shows so i need the Infra Red Night Shot feature this camera has. I have not seen any of those other brands with this feature which makes me wonder how people manage at night? Also i paid my US$190 but i am not too pleased that i had to and I can safely say, with no doubt in my mind that I will definitely think twice before buying any SONY product again. Also IF i do buy another SONY i definitely will buy the extended warrantee because for about $135 i would get coverage for up to 4 years, even if i broke it and that covers shipping to them, labour cost, parts cost and return shipping so that's an option. In all fairness, the camera did work really good for me, but i think SONy should have issued a recall. Remember friends, next time, buy the extended warrantee.
