Hi Bros

Now then I realise that my A300 is without the Hot Shoe Cover. Wonder if its provided from initial purchase?

Can advice on the location to purchase such cover?

Thanks!

$2 ? I think the last time they quoted me was at least $12 ah ! :sweat:

But its really very funny why they did not include the cover when they sell the camera ... :notmyday:

eh... u ask is from the sony shop is it. i go service centre to get a it as minolta spare parts - Shoe Cap SC-1000 (U-3900-093-U)
of course it will be a different design from sony's hotshoe cover i think. but it still fits. i tried it few days ago on a a200, can. so i believe naturally a350 and a300 can too. its the same anyway

since when anything under sony brand is ever for $2? :)
it was $10-something , I can't remember how much.

and yes, you've to wait, coz they need to order.

I think Sony did not include this hot shoe cover on their camera, except A700..
Such a small thing to include for free for customers, they also want to charge you...

that's sony for you

I did not get it for my A700. Only for my special edition A300. Do not mind get one with minolta logo. It will be classical. Can get @ Wisma Atrium Sony ?
