I have a friend that went through a similar experience with his Canon GL model or XL model, I forget which. He sent it back four or five times, didn't have use of it for a whole year (but was out his money that whole time). They finally did get the repair done. At that point, his video business had suffered from having only one camera instead of 2 so who knows how much it actually cost him. He sold the repaired camera on eBay and went with Panasonic ever after. I guess I'm lucky, my battery was the only thing that died on my Xacti. Easily replaced. Good luck with it. If you don't have a good result after this second time, I will probably not continue to purchase Sanyo cameras. If you follow Adam's advice, hopefully Sanyo will see that this incident may have a negative impact on future sales. That sucks.

Sat, 27 Sep 2008 16:33:20 +0000 http://www.idoitdigital.com/?p=1006#comment-33162 What you went through sounds all too familiar to me! I wonder which store you had to go through for the Sanyo repair shop? I bought my Fuji at Best Buy. I have some recent articles in my blog detailing the experience if you want to read them. The summary is that I had to take my Fuji camera in to Best Buy for them to send out... get this... Four fucking times!!! For the same issue! The second through fourth time, I tested the camera in front of their happy-ass Geek Squad and told them I wanted a damn refund. They kept insisting that it be sent for repair due to the No-Lemon part of the warranty contract. After all that, though, I got a new camera as reimbursement for the old one. That's the last entry on my blog. Well, soon to be second-to-last on the blog after today. What you went through sounds all too familiar to me!
