Sony a330 Picture off

[ss95003]

I have a DSLR Sony A330 and when I take a picture it the resulting picture is not what I view in the view finder. When I line up something in the middle of the viewfinder the resulting picture the object is up and to the left. Which makes taking Macro shots nearly impossible. I'm not sure when it started but I am pretty sure it was not like that when I bought it a couple years ago.

Is this something that a camera repair shop can fix? If so any clue what it will set me back on average, or what you would be willing to pay?
Has anyone seen this before in a dslr?

Your a330 has a pentamirror type viewfinder.

It sounds like one or more of the viewfinder mirrors has moved out of place.

Used a330's in good condition sell for about $300. Based on the price to replace your a300 with a used one I would set the max for a repair at $300.
