Cheers, I just don't know which way to go, way out of my comfort zone!!

Hi all, I had a Nikon AW1 which leaked, was reluctantly repaired under warranty by Nikon and has now overheated. I returned the camera to WEX, who were awesome with their customer service first time round and have excelled themselves this time around as well. The long and short of it is that...

Thread resurrection!! Got the camera back and haven't really used it until yesterday, when the condensation reappeared. Nothing to do with water ingress but overheating. When a large area of the lens became condensed I removed the lens from the camera to see if there was anything obvious and...

Well.........I'm still waiting !! Nikon are truly taking the pee :rage:

WooooooooooHoooooooo :) Got an email from WEX yesterday to say that Nikon are going to " on this occassion " repair the camera free of charge. Im absolutely thrilled at this, the spare parts are on their way and hopefully will be returned to me next week. But what do I do now? I bought a...

A quick update......Nikon are still saying that I'm at fault ( there is no apparent damage to the seals and no leaks when pressure tested ) and are refusing to budge !! I still maintain that I followed the cleaning procedure to the letter and there is an inherent fault with the seals. The camera...

An update. Nikon are trying to stitch me for £300 to repair my camera :mad: Apparently I have damaged something whilst using it, to date they have not told WEX exactly what is the issue but quoted for repair. Has anyone else had issues with Nikon and these cameras?

Just an update, whilst cleaning the camera I noticed some discolouration of the body in side the accessory cover. So the camera is going back to WEX :(

Well I'm back from the Maldives and have to say I have slightly mixed feelings about the camera. On the whole I feel it performed very well but it did suffer from condensation. As K9Simon mentioned the condensation got worse the more the camera was used and I also had condensation on the lens...

Im very interested to see if the camera survived and if your pictures are ok. Im off to Reethi in Jan/Feb and this is the camera that Im most interested in but am holding off till the last minute to see what the real world reviews are like.

Just to update you all, I have just treated myself to rather an extensive shopping spree on Lencarta's website :D

This was a conundrum that I've recently had. I think in fine, dry weather there shouldn't be any problem but with the combination of cold winter weather and the heat that studio lights generate, I believe this could be the recipe for disaster! Though considerably more expensive, I've decided...

Thank you for all the replies. :thumbs:

As in the title, went to use the cable finder and there is no listing for Lencarta! What cables do I need for the PW Flex/ Mini combo and the Safari s? Cheers

The second hand option has been explored but for the sort of money I'm going to spend, I'd be happier with a warranty. Moving on a bit, I'm going to discount the Quadras due to a lack of power. Instead I'm now torn between the safaris and a ranger setup. Safari setup would be 2 heads and 2...
