while playing around with my new a77 today I found a very serious issue. Everytime I took a shot with the light source to my right this odd purple line would appear in the image. I took about 20 shots of different things an could produce it everytime I wanted too,as long as the sun was to the camera right. I tried different cards with the same result.

any ideas?

That's a sensor defect. Send it in for warranty repair ASAP.

Whoa. I have 2 A77s, and I never had such problem with both. Have you updated the firmware?

First one we've seen from the a77, but not the first time we've seen it. Sorry for your luck but occasionally one slips past QC.

Definitely time for a return. Not sure if the same rules apply in Canada, but I'd go straight back to the retailer for a replacement.

I'd demand a replacement. Defective product.
If they refused they'd be in court, the same day I'd start procedings. Guess what as the writ landed on the company secretaries desk. I'd be given a replacement.
