Gilou, I attempted to reply to this thread a couple of times and had the site respond with; " Illegal content. Your message was blocked. If you feel that the blocking is a mistake please email to pechorin@pechorin.com" Failing to get the folks at pechorin@pechorin.com to respond to my mail messages, I sent the information that I discovered regarding the shutter and the CCD problem (actually a Sony recall), along with a step by step shutter replacement comment directly to your email address. I encapsulated the text into a PDF document so that it could not (easily) be diddled/altered. Good luck and best regards.
