All electronics are subject to breakages of course, but it would be interesting if you could let us know if you find out, why that occured.
The E:61:00 error indicates that the focusing mechanism of the RX1 is no longer working.
There was no earthly event that transpired before it's most dreaded arrival.
There are indication on the internet when the ERROR # is investigated that it does occur on a too regular level.
Though I had never heard of it previous to my event.
Sony repairs has told me that it may cost $300 to repair depending on the model?
Though I obviously told them the model.
So it's off to the repair shop since buying another isn't really an option considering this is my first ever used camera.
I have NO desire to experience the USED camera phenomena ever again.
Buying a Rx1r2 isn't really an option since rumors have it that a newer model is imminent.
Plus the rendering of the R2 (Not a Star War reference) is not really what I want.
I would probably go for a A7r2 and a Voigtlander or Leica lens in an attempt to replicate the RX1's POP
which would also give me better AF and video abilities which I could also use.
If anyone knows of a great body and lens combo that would come close or even surpass the Rx1 look
Feel free to mention it, since I will be researching the possibilities.
or get a loan and buy a new Leica M10?
Or perhaps sell the soul of a friend since my soul is being used right now.
TIA
