It would seem inconsistency when he posts might be typical. I remember the "Vistek" thread he started where he was talking about getting a 1DsMk3 and telling people he shot some photos that went on the BBC news site. Got a bit heated.

How can you file a police report if you "got it as a gift"?
Nov 1st, 2009 4:43 pm
Well you can go the got it as a gift route but I'm sure repair depots heard that before as with every other shady tactics and lies (BBB line was sarcastic BTW). If it is a fraud and he sold you a faulty camera, why not deal with the seller first? Why try to file a fraud case with the police (which I'm betting they won't do anything at all)?

Unless the seller was grossly inaccurate in his/her descriptions/representations, your case is worth nothing to a prosecutor. Police generally do not get involved in civil actions.

The pictures aren't good, but it looks like the AF motor screw is sticking out far too much. Does the lens release button move it at all?
These types of damages are not limited to any one brand

I think it's supposed to stick out like that..KorruptioN wrote: ↑The pictures aren't good, but it looks like the AF motor screw is sticking out far too much. Does the lens release button move it at all?

Hard to tell, but the one in VMalska's pic seems to be out just a little bit more...B0000rt wrote: ↑I think it's supposed to stick out like that..

Sun Camera repairs only Canon cameras. Probably why you got the "That's why you buy Canon and not Sony" comment.VMalska wrote: ↑I might go to Sun Camera...there's something about dealing with local repair centres that appeals to me. They might actually accept the warranty.
As far as his actions, at least I know what he was thinking.
He busted the mount (I say mount because I hope to dear God the lenses' mounts are fine) and didn't want to pay for it because he didn't use the camera.
By the time I repair the mount (once again, hopefully "mount"), it will bring me up to the cost of a new one...which isn't that bad because the camera is in mint condition (it's evident it hasn't exactly been used). I'll take it as a lesson learned and buy from stores.

Also if the camera is stolen the confiscate it and you lose everything.
