Maybe the digicams aren't typically used for "mission-critical" shoots.. but the DV cams listed ARE, ie. DSR-PD150, DSR-PD150P, DSR-PD170, DSR-PD170P, DSR-PDX10, DSR-PDX10P. Many of these cams are used for news gathering, weddings, and documentaries.
that is pretty bogus... I didn't know you had to wait for your camera to start failing before they'd fix it. I don't have one of the effected cameras (well, my wife has an A95- but I didn't see it on the list).
Actually, I thought they were handling the situation admirably... considering. But making you wait is just unacceptable. Not only for potential family shots, but for those of us who travel and often take a cheapie digital into 3rd world countries, on extended trips, for situations where you want decent resolution, but don't want to draw any attention to yourself.
Imagine finding out your pocket cam has just chosen to die while you're out in the Amazon... taken over a week through the jungle to finally connect with this shaman dude... your carrying a very light load and your guide is killing a boa with a spear...oops! your epoxy just failed. Darn it.;-)

If you're speaking to me... yes... brand new. Did I do something wrong? Or very "newbie"?
