Has anyone ever heard from Sony about this? I purchased 2 EX3’s in 2012 and one of them just got a red dot – of course, right after the warranty ran out. Now Sony wants to charge me $2500 to fix it. I’ve used these cameras a ton in the past but I’ve never had so many problems. So far I’ve had each camera in twice for dust inside the lens elements, which I’ve never seen before, and now this. Did they change production plants or something?
