Yes, that's probably the image stabilization unit. It has some free movement when camera is not powered on - that's normal behavior. Don't know how robust this is on the long term, but from the little I tested it seemed fine. I'd be more concerned about battery life, which is relatively short.

You didn't exactly ask a question, but mine does not have any such noise or movement or clunk. I'd worry.

I never noticed it before, but something inside does make a noise when I shake the body (gently). It probably is the image stabilization. My camera seems to work OK, although I haven't had a chance to use it very much yet.

I've noticed this as well. I wonder if it has something to do with the image stabilizer?

The camera is upside down when the mount is first shipped. When you disconnect the connecter from the mount to the camera, you can flip it so the camera is right side up. It's fairly simple.

That is awesome! I called almost 2 years ago complaining about this problem and they basically wanted to sell me an upgrade for a $100 discount - terrible! Will be sending my camera back asap. Has anyone sent it back already and gotten a replacement? Would love to hear your story!

Thank you for your interest in our kit! This unit is a refurbished product. We usually have more than one of these and do not open them up to inspect them as they are packaged and inspected by the manufacturer. Each unit is individually checked and tested before it is shipped to us. Where some may have small marks or slight imperfections in the finish there are none on the glass. It is important to note that the item is in perfect, brand new operating condition, and the manufacturer does not include the original packaging for refurbished models. The manufacturer does not indicate whether a unit has or does not have shutter actuations; nor do they keep record of what was refurbished on any unit or its previous history. If you have any further questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to contact our sales department at 800-991-3350 EST. We thank you for your time and consideration!

are you sure that the "padding" is not a piece that was put there for shipping only.I don't have any such padding on my camera security box,and it fits perfect. larry

I'm thinking it might be related to the dark corner issue. I noticed more than one reviewer complained about this and there are photos posted up in the customer photo section illustrating this issue. I was going to purchase this camera myself until I saw this potential problem. For example:http://www.amazon.com/review/R1HXQU9INW3I2T/ref=cm_aya_cmt?ie=UTF8&ASIN;=B005TGKX9S#wasThisHelpful

Mine does not do this... did you by the whole camera or just the shell? Mine is pretty heavy and I love it!!

No I would say that is not normal at all. It does have a lot of plastic parts but overall this is a nice camera. I think you should return it and get a replacement or money back.

I'm habing the same issue. Have tried seeting camera to MXP and FXP and am getting lots of grainyness and aritfacts. Anyone have and solve this issue?

I haven't had this problem. Have you dropped or bumped the camera? I was a Teenage Wac Photographer in the 60's. If there are any mechanical components in the camera, dropping, banging &/or dirt could cause a problem. Someone with more knowledge of digtal cameras might give a better answer. This sounds like a computer chip or program problem.

I have had the same problem occur with my camera 3x! I had the camera repaired in Aug and Oct '07 thru Sony for just the charge of shipping it to them. However, it happened again yesterday and I'm looking into what it will cost. Their website says $141 because it's out of warranty. Not happy with that, so I've emailed their customer service. I was just looking online to see if anyone else has had the same problem, or if it was just my camera. How long have you had yours? I'm very happy with my pictures but not so happy with having to keep getting this thing fixed!

It is the image stabilizer. It was very irritating to me as well in the beginning. But when I use the camera outside under normal conditions I don't realize it anymore at all.

Just as a FYI. I have had a lot of problems with the cameras loosing signa. I'm sure that there is a spec on this from the manufacturer but I would reduce it by 50% as a guideline. If you have a problem with the camera the return policy is pretty bad.... meaning that you pay for shipping. Find another camera supplier.

It could be that a tiny obstacle has entered your camera and caused this, or that the mechanics of the cover have been compromised, or that there's a glitch in the 'computer' workings of the camera. I have seen this in many other makes and models, and if your warranty doesn't cover it then try to manually move it one way or the other. Most likely a spring came loose. Bummer, though.
