What exactly happened?
Got it April 1, shot with it pretty consistently every day after, a mix of mechanical and electronic shutter. Yesterday, came home after shooting in the morning. Left it alone for an hour or two, then picked it up, turned it on, and there were two clunks, then silence. Nothing on screen or EVF. Took battery out, put it back in, tried again. Same thing. The third time, I was able to get an image on the EVF, but could not make any buttons do anything or open any menu during the five or ten seconds it was on. Then it went dark again. Changed batteries, no improvement.
Packed it up, sent it back to B&H for refund. 38-odd years of shooting, have only had something catastrophic like that happen once before when a long-ago Minolta 7D succumbed to the inevitable anti-shake failure issue that claimed them.
