....back to the original post here....
might it be best to buy in necessary review gear from a source that will offer a full refund within a limited period rather than being stuck with gear that is not what it is claimed to be - whoever else makes these claims - at least you still have been able to look at it and say why your reviews will be on other gear - which will be interesting enough
a loss is a loss and eventually the money and the enthusiasm might run out and nobody wants that :-( ....or wants to see you, or anyone, suffer a loss like this

I'm not sure about your point here. Yeah, I could have purchased the camera from an online shop and return it now. It would have been a little unfair though - basically I only verified whether the 1st sample was correct and why should a shop suffer from that ? I reckon that I will look 200EUR here but that's not excessive. The camera to be sold is in perfect condition and fully within manufacturer specifications. I will not recommend the NEX 7 to anyone but that doesn't mean that I will just throw it into the next trash bin.
