First, I am happy because the problems I am having with my A80 are because my underwater housing has been letting in water or moisture.
Pissed, because I have been having this problem for awhile.
The problem surfaced soon after I bought the underwater housing and I use the A80 almost exclusively as an underwater camera. I would take pictures for an entire dive, only to find out that they were all screwed. Because the A80 doesn't have a great screen in the first place, coupled with very bright light, I couldn't tell what was being photographed.
Anyway, I found the old "bang the camera in the palm of your hand a few times" trick would bring everything back to normal and the camera takes great pictures - both in and out of the water.
And for the price I paid for the housing, I have been thinking of buying some spare A80's for the time when my current one decides to quit for good...

Well, I am both happy and pissed.
