I think all are the same so why would you want another one?

To be fair we don't know if all are the same or if it is poor QC on a batch of cameras.
Time will tell.

I asked for an exchange rather then a straight return. The camera I had was so noisy I figure it had to be defective. I hope that when a new one arrives all will be well. If not, I'll return it.

engineer, are you looking at the rainbow pattern or just the fact that it isn't as sharp as you'd want it?

It's funny I looked at the still on a monitor at a client and it seems a lot cleaner than on my (much better) monitor at home. I was looking at the blocking (when viewed at 100%)

Thanks Mark - my dealer has sent the still to Sony for comment. I am waiting to hear back before deciding what to do next.

<<<Interesting that you think it is underexposed - this was full auto mode>>>!
I looked at the levels in Photoshop which shows it underexposed as a "bright" clouds and sky image. However the meter has exposed it correctly as a set of pixels. The camera wants to render the overall image as a mid tone grey (i.e. 128/128/128). This it has done.
So if you set it at auto exposure and photograph black kitty in the coal-house then kitty and the coal house will be grey. White top cat playing in the snow will be a similar grey.
Hope that makes sense and I'm not rabbiting on about obvious stuff that you've known for the last 45 years ;-)
ps I realise that this isn't your present issue with the camera.

Hi Videostock - don't worry I won't take offence (well apart from the 45 years - not being doing it quite that long!)
It is interesting that the problem I have with the image can only be seen on some monitors but the sales rep at the company I bought it from didn't have any issue with me returning the camera for this reason.
Really hope it is a bad camera or batch and not an inherent issue with them all as I could edit the footage in real time with no issues (that still was taken from a 59.94p 60fps record at 4096x2160)
