Not got this one but Sony's Lee Shorney accepted that the Alpha 500 I'd bought from Jessops wasn't working properly and - rather than swapping it [something Jessops wouldn't do] he has instead given me the fabulous Alpha 580.. 16mp; 3D HD movies; 3D panoramics; 2 D in each too; 7fps.. My thanks to him!!
