I bought an Alpha 35 two years ago for my wife and I to cut our teeth on "real" photography. Mostly we wanted to get action shots of our dogs doing dog things.
Sadly, however, the -35 has died. Now, granted, it is an entry-level DSLR (SLT?) but I can't say I'm terribly impressed with the quality here. I've read in several places online that my issue isn't isolated; it seems that the -33 and -55 suffered the same issue with the camera suffering a fatal error right around 30,000 shutter actuations.
I guess what I'm asking is, since we've been looking at upgrading bodies for a bit now, should I stick with Sony or go with a different brand? I'm already somewhat invested in Sony/Minolta glass and accessories:
70-200 f/2.8
50mm f/1.4
Kit lens and a beer can 75-300 4.5-5.6
Plenty of filters and a shutter remote
I hope you can appreciate my frustration.
