Are you formatting the card in the camera before first use and also when you want to clear the card? If not, do so and your problem may be resolved.

As cabstar said. You can store work in the cloud, but that's a debateable thing as well. When companies go bust getting your files back in time can be a nightmare.

As always, there are two sides to the coin.

The subscription only model is no good for me, so I'll stick to CS5. But at least I bought it and there are lots of people who are using one form of Photoshop or another who think it's fine to not buy it but use a pirate copy.

Probably the unlicensed use of Photoshop is the primary concern, although also the need to constantly update and keep as industry standard.

It could go either way.

It's an agonisingly low price that is hard to resist. I have a feeling that eventually the value of this first model will go up considerably.

I've just had a look and found remarkable lack of stress about it. No nay-sayers, no enthusiasts, it just is what it is.

No doubt if I kept looking I would find something of interest, but no time for that I'm afraid.

No, they didn't! Or at least this poll doesn't make this the correct conclusion. With the sample size it's not significant. Also, the sample is self-selecting which doesn't give us a true picture.

If more and more cameras with this sensor are now coming minus the AA filter layer surely the extra cost attributed to smaller runs is pretty much negated
It's not a factor when there's no choice. When there is a choice then both need to be handled separately so the relative numbers will be significant.

It's always worth seeing what can be done taking advantage of the limitation. Sometimes we want some vingetting in an image. In this case it might be possible to achieve some interesting in-camera effects, perhaps for portraiture.

And if you are still in doubt, just go for the cheaper option.
Very good advice.

try a repair house that deals in Sigma. Do Sigma have a nominated repairer?
