If the camera is within guarantee, send it to where Sony advises. If not
and you're aghast at the price, start shopping around - it depends on
where in the world you're living - I found a great place in Alice
Springs last year but its not much use if you live in Muncie, Indiana...

As a last step if you're still not satisfied, contact Sony in Japan and
send the camera there, but expect it to take several weeks.
