Hello everybody,
I just bought an a7r iii. I got it in my hands yesterday so i charge the battery and when i put the battery inside, mount the lens(sony zeiss 35mm f2.8) and turn it on, i set date and time, and then i see the view in front of the camera in the lcd for a few seconds, then the image tilts a bit down like the sensor moved and after that an error message shows up saying camera error turn camera off then on, so i did and the same thing happen. The camera did't even worked for a single minute!! Is this acceptable from a 3000$ piece of machinery? And i even i heard noises when i shaked the camera just a bit while the battery was charging which i googled and some said that is normal, it's the sensors stabilizing mechanism. I am also a Canon user and i am pretty sure that is very very very rare in Canon and i think in Nikon too.So i searched this in google and i found some posts about this camera error for sony a series and just one specified for a7r iii. Some people referring to them as a brick or bad cameras.
Can i have your opinions about sony cameras could they compare to Canon's and Nikon's reliability?
I am waiting for a response from Amazon so i can return it and get a new one but even if the new is working properly i do not want to go every year or so and pay money to sony cause of its bad manufacturing and more important i don't want my camera to stop working while i am on a trip working. Also i am on holidays here in the US and i ordered it via a friend and his account and i do not know if i will get it before i will leave from here.
This is a pain and ruined my vacation mood for a bit but i learned a lesson not ever order cameras online again just do it from your local shop.
I am really looking forward to your responses any information about sony cameras errors and durability comparing to Nikon and Canon would be really useful.
Thanks
