Sony A350 digital camera with 14mp CCD sensor.
I really like the 10mp sensor in my Pentax K10D, and intend to do a shootout between my K10D images and my A350 images.

Here's my latest Ebay flop. I'll bet that you've never heard of this one before.
I purchased a digital camera from a Japanese seller. He didn't mention in his ebay description that the camera menu was all in Japanese.
When I received the camera and found that the menu was in Japanese (which I don't read), I thought, OK, I'll just change the language in the menu to English. No such option with this camera.
I contacted the seller, who agreed to give me a partial refund of about 40% of the value of the camera. I decided to take the refund and keep the camera.
All's well that ends well. I spent an afternoon with an English version of the operating manual and "Google Translate". I will only be shooting RAW files and manual focus lenses, so many of the menu settings were not of concern to me. I was able to set up the camera to shoot RAW files, and it works great. I just hope that nothing happens in the field where I need to change a menu setting.

My worst purchases have been from well meaning relatives selling gear of a deceased relative. They don't have a clue on how to inspect/test a camera or lens.
