Here's my little tail. I've been toying with the idea of a small mirrorless system as a walk about. Narrowed it down to a sony or Fuji x of some description.
As I'd done my technical research all that was needed was a bit of "handling" and as I had 10 mins free yesterday I popped into Jessops in Ipswich. Although I was pushed for time I wasn't going to need long due to the afore mentioned research.
So I picked up a sony, turned it on and Beep, Beep it died, picked up the X-E2, turned it on, the rear screen flashed a big red battery symbol and promptly died.
I asked an assistant if they had another battery, no they didn't, but they could charge the one in the camera if I could wait or pop back!! this is at 10.30 in the morning!!!
Now call ne naïve but if your business is selling consumer electronics etc. shouldn't your first job in the morning be to make sure the bleedin' things work!! I went in with my hand on my wallet all ready to go.
Ahhhh, I feel better now!
