I am sad to report the camera died suddenly on Thursday :(
It had been having minor hiccups for a year... it owed me nothing... it had had something like 50,000 pics through it in just under 4 years.
It is almost certainly a switch circuit. It will switch ON/OFF whilst plugged into the Charger... but wont under its own steam. It isnt the battery... been there tried that (and was hoping... but not to be.)
The camera is probably worth about $35 now.. and to repair.. about $300 ... isnt going to happen.
I simply cannot afford right now to replace it with the new similar.. and I am going to trial a slightly cheaper Sony .... it arrives on Thursday.
Yes.. I still have the Sony A65 and the lenses... but the HV was the workhorse...the one that was welded to me. The HV gave me some little confidence back in my love of photography.
I think the replacement will do for now... till I can rob a bank !
RIP HV100V.... you will be missed. I am just grateful it went out on that Snowdrop photo... a fitting tribute.
UPDATE
After alot of searching and soul searching(!) I found the camera I actually WANTED for just $30 more and have been able to secure a return of the one I ordered (when it arrives) and a refund.
The one I wanted will be arriving this week !!
