I already know about the model a850 has been stop produce, but I cannot understand why Sony had to stop producing the spare parts for a850 also.? It is not acceptable for the a850 users. I got 2 a850 and had use it almost 4 years since i bought it. I was very dissapointed when i send my a850 to sony service to replace it with a new shutter box because my shutter count already reach the limits. They told me that the parts are no longer been produce because sony decided to stop it. It is so not fair for us that use a850. Its like u buy a car and use it for 3 years only and then when u wanna change the parts they told u it cannot be fix because they stop producing spare parts already. This is not a cheap camera and i already invest almost RM14000 for both bodies, and thinking that i can use it more longer until 10 years. I felt like be cheated. Sony , you should have a good reason for this problem. I understand if u wanna move forward with the new technology but dont just left us at back like this. Spare parts should never be discontinued because u already got buyers and users of this model. Till now, ive been stuck like this and cannot do my work because i dont have camera anymore. I support my family by being a photographer and without it, how i suppose to feed my family and continue working? I really appreaciate if somebody cann tell me where i can get the spare parts/ the shutter box for a850 besides from Sony Centre? Please help me here.
